January 10, 2008

MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA) has received a contract worth CAD$39.5 million, with options of a further CAD $36.3 million to provide continued support to NASA's Johnson Space Center for robotic elements.

The contract continues sustaining engineering services provided by MDA to support the Space Shuttle Canadarm and its inspection boom, as well as the Robotic Work Station on the ISS. This follow-on contract will continue that support through late 2010.

Renewal of the main robotic elements on the International Space Station is not included within this contract.
