[Toronto, 14 January 2025] – Canadensys Aerospace is proud to have another camera from its robust lunar camera family awaiting launch to the Moon. The camera will fly on the Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1 which is set to launch on a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket from the NASA Kenedy Space Center early tomorrow. The camera will play a key role monitoring the operation of the Honeybee Robotics Lunar PlanetVac (LPV) system. LPV uses compressed gas to drive regolith into a sample chamber for analysis.

Canadensys General Manager, Frank Teti, stated “We are thrilled to once again have one of our lunar-hard NISA cameras supporting NASA fundamental scientific research investigations on the lunar surface, this time as part of the innovative Honeybee Robotics PlanetVac system. The entire Canadensys team is eagerly anticipating this mission!”
Canadensys President & CEO, Christian Sallaberger, added “2025 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for Canadensys NISA lunar cameras. This camera on the ground-breaking Firefly Blue Ghost Mission One is the first of 18 Canadensys lunar cameras that are manifested to fly to the lunar surface on various missions this year, and it will join the 9 Canadensys cameras which are already on the Moon, and which were sent on previous international missions in 2024 and 2023.”
Canadensys Aerospace acknowledges and thanks the Canadian Space Agency for its contributions to the development and demonstration of the NISA lunar cameras.
