On the move today... MDA Ltd. has announced that it is receiving $269-million from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for the next phase of the Canadarm3 program.
The company said the award for Phase B of the program will see it complete the preliminary design of the Canadarm3 robotics system that will be used aboard the NASA-led Gateway – “a major, multi-year international collaboration to establish a sustainable space station in lunar orbit to support human and robotic missions to the surface of the Moon.”
“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,” said Mike Greenley, COE of MDA.
