Mission Persistence
Canada’s Giant Leap for AI in Space
Launch Date: June 2025
Short Summary: The Persistence Mission is Canada’s next step in the global effort to bring trustworthy AI & Autonomy to space. Creating resilient, rapid response capabilities by intelligently downlinking actionable insights to humans on Earth, Persistence will pioneer AI-enabled operational concepts to save space system operators time and money. With the support of the Canadian Space Agency, Mission Control has partnered with Spire Global to build a Spacecraft that will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in 2025. Post-launch, Mission Control will demonstrate the power of space-based AI ushering in the next phase of human space exploration and a better understanding of the Earth.
COMING SOON!
Launch Date: 2026
Short Summary: A lunar mobility mission designed in collaboration with Astrobotic Technology, focused on demonstrating CubeRover® operations on the Moon. BEACON will travel to the Moon aboard the Griffin-1 lunar lander and deploy to the surface, where it will use Mission Control’s Spacefarer™ software platform to allow operators to perceive and navigate the lunar surface, and the Spacefarer AI™ platform to demonstrate onboard machine learning capabilities. The mission is an exciting exploration of what it takes to operate missions at the lunar south pole and a stepping stone towards the development of robust, intelligent systems for surface operations in challenging lunar environments.
Rashid Rover 2
Launch Date: 2027
Short Summary: Mission Control has been selected by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) to provide wireless communications technology for the Rashid Rover 2, part of the Emirates Lunar Mission. The rover will be delivered by Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander on Blue Ghost Mission 2, targeting a landing on the far side of the Moon in 2027. Rashid Rover 2 carries a suite of science instruments to study the Moon’s geographic and surface features, investigate material interactions with the lunar environment, examine plasma activity near the surface, and advance understanding of lunar dust behavior. Mission Control’s surface communications solution, originally developed with support from the Canadian Space Agency, will enable reliable, real-time connectivity between the rover and its supporting infrastructure — a critical capability given the mission’s location on the Moon’s far side. This marks Mission Control’s fourth contribution to a lunar rover mission and a continued collaboration between Canada, the UAE, and the United States.
