About MDA Space
MDA Space is a Canadian space-technology group spanning satellite systems, geointelligence and Robotics & Space Operations. Its robotics work covers manipulators, sensors, autonomous control and mission operations for space stations, satellite servicing, surface mobility and in-space assembly. The business builds on the Canadarm, Canadarm2 and Dextre heritage while operating from a dedicated Space Robotics Centre of Excellence in Brampton.
Current programmes include Canadarm3, an AI-enabled large arm, dexterous arm, tools and ground-control system for NASA-led Lunar Gateway, and MDA SKYMAKER, a modular commercial robotics family derived from the same technology. A C$1 billion Canadian Space Agency contract funds Canadarm3 final design, construction, integration and testing. Robotics & Space Operations generated C$99.5 million of Q2 2026 revenue, up 13.1% year over year, with growth driven by increased Canadarm3 work.
