MDA Space Ltd. is a Canadian space technology company headquartered in Brampton, Ontario, that serves as a trusted mission partner to the global defense and space industry. With a history spanning over 55 years and more than 450 missions, the company's core mission is "to build the space between proven and possible," transforming ambitious customer visions into achievable space endeavors. MDA Space employs over 4,000 individuals globally.

The company operates across three key segments: Geointelligence, Robotics and Space Operations, and Satellite Systems. In Geointelligence, MDA Space is a leader in Earth and space observation, offering solutions and services through missions like RADARSAT-2 and the upcoming MDA CHORUS constellation. Its Robotics and Space Operations segment is renowned for the iconic Canadarm technology, including the development of Canadarm3 for the Lunar Gateway, and provides commercial robotics systems under the MDA SKYMAKER™ brand. The Satellite Systems division is a global leader in communications satellites, delivering custom-built solutions, software-defined digital satellite product lines, and high-volume manufacturing capabilities for constellations such as Telesat Lightspeed and OneWeb.

Under the leadership of CEO Mike Greenley, MDA Space is strategically shifting from bespoke engineering to an industrialized platform, focusing on mass production of low Earth orbit (LEO) infrastructure and expanding recurring data and analytics revenue streams. Recent achievements include securing significant contracts and letters of interest for its MDA CHORUS Earth observation data ahead of its late 2026 launch, repeat antenna orders for the OneWeb constellation, and contracts with the Canadian Department of National Defence and the Missile Defense Agency. The company also launched 49North, a subsidiary dedicated to defense capabilities, and is contributing to NASA's Artemis mission with a human-rated Moon rover.
