MDA Space Wins Antenna Contract From Airbus
By Adriano Marchese
MDA Space has been chosen by Airbus to design and building over 1,300 high- and low-frequency antennas for a satellite constellation owned by the global operator Eutelsat.
The Canadian space technology company said Monday that it will design and build more than 880 Ka-band steerable antennas and 440 Ku-band user replacement antennas for the OneWeb low Earth orbit.
Eutelsat awarded Airbus the contracts to build the OneWeb constellation extension in December 2024 and December 2025, for 100 and 340 satellites respectively, MDA noted.
The award follows an initial order to supply close to 2,000 antennas to the low-Earth orbit constellation with about 650 satellites, given to MDA Space by OneWeb in 2016.
MDA expects to build and assemble the antennas at its production facility in Montreal which will then be integrated into the satellites by Airbus.
No financial details of the contract were disclosed.
