Introduction

Mission Control Space Services (Mission Control) is a Canadian company that focuses on developing advanced software for space, including AI.[1]

About

Mission Control was founded in 2015 by Ewan Reid.[2] Located in Ottawa, Ontario, is an 8200 square foot facility, including two laboratories, an Orbital Autonomy Lab for autonomous on-orbit robotic operations, a 4000 square foot lunar analogue terrain facility and more.[3] Mission Control was the first in the world to deploy deep learning AI in lunar orbit [4]

History

2015 - Mission Control won its first contract with the Canadian Space Agency to develop ASAS: the Autonomous Soil Assessment System.[5]

2018/2019 - Mission Control secured funding from the Canadian Space Agency through their Lunar Exploration Accelerator Program (LEAP) for the development of an operations and autonomy framework for upcoming lunar exploration missions.[6] Mission Control's Spacefarer software was prepared to help guide the Rashid Lunar Rover, a component of the Emirates Lunar Mission, scheduled to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in 2022.[7][8]

2023 - M1 of the Emirates Lunar Mission did not successfully land.[9] Although this was upsetting for the Mission Control team, the company is now the first organization in the world to deploy deep-learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) in lunar orbit.[10]
