MDA Awarded Contract by York
Space Systems
July 12, 2022
MDA Ltd. has been awarded
a contract from York Space Systems. The contract
will see MDA design and build Ka-Band steerable
antennas for satellites to be produced by York Space
Systems.
"We're excited to
establish this new relationship for satellite
systems with York Space Systems to support important
space security and communications constellations,"
said Mike Greenley, CEO of MDA. "This contract
represents another opportunity to demonstrate MDA's
best-in-class satellite design and manufacturing
capabilities for a US-based prime contractor."
MDA technology has been
integrated into more than 350 satellite missions to
date, with more than 2,000 antenna subsystems and
3,000 electronic subsystems on approximately 850
satellites currently in orbit. The antennas for York
Space will be built, assembled and tested at MDA's
state-of-the-art high volume satellite production
facility in Montreal.
The York Space contract
was added to MDA's backlog in the second quarter of
fiscal 2022, with the work expected to be completed
over the next 24 months.
