A Canadian company has inked a $700,000 contract with the country’s Space Agency (CSA) contract to develop a multi-purpose device designed for space mining.
Northern Ontario-based Deltion Innovations Ltd will work on the combination drill and rotary multi-use tool, or what the firm describes as a "space-age Swiss Army knife".
The project, part of the CSA's space technology development program, has been given the acronym "PROMPT" (Percussive and Rotary Multi-Purpose Tool), Canadian Press reports.
