“This is another important milestone for MDA that demonstrates our ability to execute in the rapidly accelerating global space economy and further reinforces our role as a worldwide leader in robotics and space operations,” Mike Greenley, chief executive of the Brampton, Ont.-based company, said in a statement.
MDA, which makes satellites and provides geo-intelligence, isn’t new to space missions. Before completing Phase 0 and A of Canadarm3, it contributed to the completion of Canadarm2 and, in 1999, had purchased the company which built the original Canadarm. “MDA now intends to leverage its world-class engineering capabilities, mission expertise, and cutting-edge Canadarm3 technology with an eye towards commercializing space robotics products in the years ahead,” Greenley said.
MDA also announced this week that it will supply Ukraine with high-quality satellite images as part of Ottawa’s efforts to assist the eastern European country in its fight against Russia’s invasion.
