MDA Space Opens MDA CHORUS™ Control Centre in Québec

MDA Space opened its new MDA CHORUS Control Centre in Québec, a key operational step ahead of the planned late-2026 launch of its Earth-observation satellite constellation. The facility will act as the mission hub for command and control, mission assurance, and data delivery, reinforcing readiness for commercial and government customers. Management says the constellation will provide dual-band SAR imaging with a 700 km-wide swath and sub-metre spotlight resolution, enabling day/night, all-weather monitoring. The announcement is mildly positive for MDA Space because it reduces execution risk and signals progress toward commercialization, but it is still a pre-launch milestone rather than revenue-generating news. The release also reiterates a path to commercial operations in early 2027.
