MDA Space landed a contract from BAE Systems to design and build antennas and control electronics for orbiting U.S. national-security satellites.

The Canadian robotics and satellite systems company said Tuesday it was selected by the British aerospace-and-defense company as part of the U.S. Space Systems Command medium Earth orbit Epoch 2 Constellation program.

MDA under the contract will supply the antennas and electronics for missile warning and tracking satellites BAE Systems will produce for the U.S. Space Force.

The contract is a continuation of previous work by MDA Space on the Space Development Agency's low Earth orbit Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture tranche 0, 1 and 2 transport and tracking layers, and the Epoch 1 constellation for multiple contractors.

MDA said the contract with BAE Systems was added to its work backlog for the first quarter, and that the work is expected to be completed in 2027.
