TL;DR Summary

The Canadian Space Agency cancelled its planned lunar rover, which would have been Canada's first rover and would have landed in the Moon’s south polar region as part of the Lunar Exploration Accelerator Program (LEAP). Built by Canadensys and set to hitch a ride on a Firefly Aerospace lander, the project will not proceed, but the science team will continue under grants and the developed robotics know-how could inform future missions.
