Last night, we had the honour of spending the evening with the Artemis II Astronauts, hosted by Space Canada | Espace Canada and the Canadian Space Agency | Agence spatiale canadienne. Listening to Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen and Jenni Gibbons reminded us that we’re capable of accomplishing extraordinary things when industries, agencies and governments work together with a shared vision and ambition. Their dedication and courage reignited humanity’s sense of wonder and curiosity for space. Their efforts have propelled space exploration into a new era, and we’re excited to see how Canada continues to play a role in advancing what’s possible beyond Earth. 🌎🚀🌕

Last week, more than 200 team members moved into the 2nd and 3rd floor workspaces of our new Montréal high-volume satellite manufacturing facility, and this morning we officially inaugurated the 185,000 square-foot expansion joined by industry and government officials, key suppliers for the project such as construction contractor Broccolini and members of our team. Completed in under two years, this highly modern facility was built for speed and scale. It gives us the production capacity needed to serve the growing demand for low Earth orbit constellations as a prime contractor for commercial, civil and military programs. From the early days of Canada’s first satellite to now, this is the latest step in a long tradition of homegrown space innovation. The work that happens here will power the communications infrastructure that connects people, protects communities and keeps Canada at the forefront of space technology for years to come. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has had a hand in making this milestone possible.

The Assembly and Contingency Radio Frequency Group, a critical system for the International Space Station that was designed and built by MDA Space to last 10 years, spent more than double that amount of time relaying voice communications, command telemetry and tracking data back and forth between Earth and the ISS – a testament to the durability and reliability of our technology. The unit was retrieved by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration astronauts a year ago and returned to MDA Space to be refurbished. Read about how it stood the test of time, and the elements: https://brnw.ch/21x24Mn

Today marks 25 years since the first robotic “handshake in space” between Canadarm and Canadarm2. 🦾 Operated by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration astronaut, Susan Helms, Canadarm2 transferred its launch cradle to Endeavour’s Canadarm, controlled by Canadian Space Agency | Agence spatiale canadienne astronaut Chris Hadfield. From that first hand-off to the Artemis program, Canada’s spirit of bold, mission critical innovation keeps us reaching further.
