    Trudeau Announces Canada Will Be Partner In NASA-Led Lunar Gateway Project

    • Trudeau Announces Canada Will Be Partner In NASA-Led Lunar Gateway Project

    LONGUEUIL, Que. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that Canada will be "going to the moon" as a partner in a NASA-led project.

     

    NASA is embarking on the creation of its new Lunar Gateway, a space station it plans to send into orbit around the moon starting in 2022.


    The plan calls for a sustainable lunar architecture that would allow people and equipment to go back and forth to the moon regularly, NASA says.


    It is also described as a first step toward deeper space exploration, including a mission to Mars.


    Trudeau said today at the Canadian Space Agency that the partnership in the Lunar Gateway will be part of a new space strategy that will see the federal government invest $2.05 billion over 24 years.


    He said the investment will create hundreds of well-paying jobs and contribute $100 million annually to Canada's gross domestic product.
