MDA Space secures 41 early customer contracts and letters of interest for MDA CHORUS DATA

MDA Space has finalized nine early customer contracts for MDA CHORUS™ data, its next-generation Earth observation constellation expected to launch in late 2026. In addition, the company has received 32 letters of interest from customers across Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe, North America and the Middle East.

The contracts and letters of interest reflect strong commercial traction and customer demand for the company’s highly trusted Earth observation data and insights that support multiple mission-critical applications, including maritime domain awareness, defence and security, mining, oil and gas, energy utilization and forestry management, among others.

“The number of early commitments to MDA CHORUS™ is a reflection of the trust customers have in MDA Space Earth observation products and the unique capabilities our next-generation constellation will bring to market,” said Mike Greenley, CEO of MDA Space. “Demand for Earth observation data and imagery is driving increased engagement with customers globally who are looking for dependable and near real-time access to detect activity, protect critical environments, and support national security priorities. MDA CHORUS™ is ideally positioned to meet that demand.”

Building on decades of radar imaging expertise at MDA Space, MDA CHORUS™ will provide enhanced multi-sensor imaging performance and operational insight. Designed to deliver EO data day or night and in all-weather conditions, MDA CHORUS™ will support more frequent imaging opportunities, faster delivery of insights, and advanced applications such as near real-time exploitation and insights. Once operational, the collaborative multi-sensor satellite constellation will provide one of the most extensive radar imaging capacity available on the market in one system, ranging from broad area coverage with a 700 km-wide swath to sub-metre very high-resolution spotlight images.

As MDA Space prepares for the launch of MDA CHORUS™, the company continues to engage customers across civil, defence and commercial markets, reinforcing its role as a leading global provider of commercial Earth observation data and mission-ready geospatial products.
