MDA Space Ltd. is buying U.S. smallsat manufacturer Blue Canyon Technologies LLC in an all-cash transaction valued at about $620 million, according to multiple reports. The acquisition is described as giving MDA Space greater access to the U.S. market, including opportunities tied to government contracts.

One outlet (Globe and Mail) characterizes the overall deal value as valuing Blue Canyon’s U.S. company at $874 million, though the specific figures vary across coverage. Overall, the reporting aligns on the buyer, target, and the stated headline purchase price of $620 million, framing the transaction as part of MDA Space’s defense and government-focused growth strategy.
