Tested on the moon
Sherbrooke received $ 1.2 million to test its technology before the rover day’s launch. Over the next few years, the Global Positioning System (GPS) and navigation system will be tested in the lunar environment.
If he’s working in the lab, we want to test him in a real lunar environment. We have three potential chariots that will take us to the moon, and there are actually two that we caught with them […] And third, we are in negotiations
, Confirms Jean de La Fontaine.
In the future, the technologies developed by NGC Aerospace could be converted to land use. For example, drones can be equipped with a Sherbrooke GPS system to deliver food or medicine to rough terrain in the aftermath of natural disasters.
