Terma Selected by MDA Space as part of MDA AURORA Supply Chain

Terma will provide critical ground support equipment for MDA’s satellite platforms, supporting satellite constellations and ensuring reliability and precision.

As part of the project, Terma will supply Power Special Check-Out Equipment (SCOEs) incorporating its UniverSAS product, Radio Frequency (RF) SCOEs for comprehensive RF testing, and Central Checkout Systems based on Terma’s CCS5 product. Together, these systems form part of the ground support segment, enabling efficient, reliable testing and validation throughout satellite integration, production, and launch preparation. The solutions are designed with scalability and modularity in mind, enabling integration and reuse across satellite platforms and future mission architectures.

The supply chain will help support deliveries of the MDA AURORATM satellite products that MDA Space will be producing at its high-volume manufacturing facility.

“We are very happy to strengthen our partnership with MDA through this new contract,” says Mats Warstedt, Senior Vice President, Space, Terma. “This project not only demonstrates trust in our solutions but also underlines our role in helping MDA Space ensure the reliability of satellite constellations from early development through to launch readiness.”

Designed to meet the changing technical and business requirements of the satellite industry, the software-defined MDA AURORATM product line provides satellite operators with unparalleled flexibility and functionality, dramatically enhancing constellation performance at reduced cost and time to market.
