The RPC will provide the Canadian Space Agency (CSA)[1], working in conjunction with Canadian post secondary institutions, a one-time grant to form and lead a technical working group with the primary purpose of researching the feasibility of commencing construction of a small-scale test kinetic energy-powered space launch system (e.g., linear and rotational mass accelerators) on the Moon or Mars by 2040. The findings of the working group's report will describe the necessary technologies which don't currently exist and the materials which aren't currently available, which will in turn inform future government research grants and infrastructure investments.
