Aqualunar Challenge
The Aqualunar Challenge was a Canadian- and UK-delivered competition to develop novel technologies for purifying water from lunar ice for human deep-space missions. The three-stage challenge sought low-maintenance, sustainable systems that could also improve terrestrial water purification; CSA selected the LunaPure design from Canadian Strategic Missions Corporation as the 2026 grand-prize winner.
