(CBC NB - 2026-04-08)  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.
