How Canada’s leading space company plans to build and protect

CEO Mike Greenley is leading MDA Space's pivot toward sovereign launch and space defense, introducing the MDA Midnight spacecraft to detect and protect critical satellite infrastructure from threats.
Building on a 60-year history of satellite design and robotics, MDA Space is now developing domestic launch capabilities, recently testing rockets at Spaceport Nova Scotia with Dutch partners.
The MDA Midnight spacecraft features sensors and electronic warfare capabilities to deter threats, ensuring Canada maintains sovereign control over assets protecting the Arctic and North America.
Canada may collaborate with the United States on Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense programs like the Golden Dome, as Greenley noted space disruptions could cost up to $1 billion a day.
AI-Driven defense systems and sovereign space awareness will allow Canada to contribute to collective North American security while maintaining independent ability to design, launch, and operate spacecraft.
