Intermap Contracted for NASA Moon Landing Simulations
By Robb M. Stewart
Intermap Technologies has secured a contract to support moon-landing simulations, providing high-resolution elevation data and radar imagery to support the U.S. Geological Survey and NASA's Artemis III simulations and training exercises.
The geospatial intelligence company said Wednesday its data is being used by the Joint Extra Vehicular Activity Test Team, a specialized group that develops and executes tests and analog missions that is part of NASA's Artemis III mission, which plans to land a human crew near the lunar South Pole in 2025. Test missions are taking place in the Arizona desert, which has characteristics similar to a lunar environment.
Elevation data is critical for training missions on Earth to prepare for space missions, the Colorado-based company said.
