SAN DIEGO, July 24, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Innoflight, a leading provider of cyber-security space solutions, announced today it has been selected by MDA Space Ltd. (TSX:MDA), a leading provider of advanced technology and services to the rapidly expanding global space industry, as part of the company’s supply chain for MDA AURORA^TM, a game-changing product line driving the transition from analog to digital satellite technology. 

Innoflight will provide 400 end cryptographic units including four engineering development units and 396 flight units to launch on board 198 satellites. The MDA AURORA^TM supply chain will help support product deliveries for anchor customer Telesat’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation Telesat Lightspeed, an innovative, advanced global network that will bring enterprise-class connectivity to customers worldwide.

“Innoflight is proud to join MDA Space’s team and the Telesat Lightspeed program,” said Vincent Gagnon, Innoflight Chief Revenue Officer. “The KI-103’s product and volume production maturity for an end cryptographic unit is unprecedented in the space industry; this is the largest KI-103 order in Innoflight’s history, bringing the total number of units sold to nearly 1,000 units for U.S. Department of Defense and commercial missions.”
