MDA Space signs a C$688 million contract with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to build a new radar satellite. Multiple outlets report the agreement as a major follow-on order for MDA Space’s work in Canada’s radar-imaging satellite capabilities. The contract value is consistently stated as C$688 million (about $688 million in some coverage), and it is described as covering the satellite’s development and related production work.
Several reports also note that the CSA order comes after an earlier contract awarded last year for long-lead components valued at C$44.7 million. This suggests the new agreement expands on initial procurement and engineering steps already underway for the program.
The articles collectively present the deal as part of CSA’s ongoing efforts to expand its space-based radar services. While specific technical details and launch timelines are not included in the provided excerpts, the coverage agrees on the core points: the satellite program, the parties involved, the contract’s size, and the existence of the earlier long-lead parts contract.
