MDA has been providing advanced, highly reliable, satellite systems and equipment for over four decades. The unique quality requirements of satellite hardware and software, combined with high reliability requirements, demand the highest order of electrical, mechanical, digital, software and system design be utilized in order to assure product quality and ultimately, mission success.

Enhanced Space Processors
The Enhanced Space Processor Single Board Computers are designed for radiation Intensive Low Earth and Geo-synchronous Orbit, Interplanetary and Deep Space applications and are built to the highest mission critical and safety standards.

On-Board Processing (OBP) Re-Programmable Platform
The OBP Re-Programmable Platforms are designed for space applications requiring the ability to re-program all or parts of the processing functionality.

Command & Data Handling Units
The C&DH unit provides the spacecraft control processing, data handling and storage, command decoding and telemetry gathering and encoding. The MDA C&DH unit is targeted for LEO, MEO and GEO C&DH applications.

Motor Drive Electronics (MDE)
The MDE provides the spacecraft control of motors typically used for gimballed antennas.

Multi-Format Data Compressor for Space
Taking full advantage of existing global standard such as JPEG2000 and MPEG4 / M-JPEG, MDA is developing a single cardsolution for compression of high bandwidth data such as hyperspectral image data.
