A group of electrical engineers at the University of New Brunswick is actively tracking the Artemis II mission in a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience.
The team of six, including five students, is one of 34 international groups selected by NASA to track the spacecraft named Integrity — making UNB the only Canadian university selected to participate in monitoring the historic lunar loop.
“When I was a child, I saw them land on the moon on a black and white TV and, so, to have the students of this generation be involved in that is just fantastic,” said Brent Petersen, a professor of communications in the department of electrical and computer engineering at UNB.
