Bubble Technology Industries in Chalk River is designing a device that will attach onto the rover and search for water or ice as it drives across the moon's surface.
"We're going to drive around on the moon and look for instances where radiation fields change in such a way that tells us, as scientists, that there's potentially water or ice here." The rover itself is being designed by a separate company in Bolton, Ont. and is described to be roughly the size of a dog kennel.
While BTI is fairly unknown as a major technological institution in the Ottawa Valley, they have been aiding astronauts and space exploration for decades.
