ROBOTICS

MDA is the world leader in the analysis, development, delivery, and support of advanced robotic missions and solutions for space and terrestrial applications. The company's reputation for excellence stems from its robotic and vision solutions for high profile manned and unmanned space programs that include critical components for the Space Shuttle program, and the International Space Station.

MDA’s robotic and planetary exploration solutions have played key roles in four previous Mars missions, and will play a leading role on NASA's upcoming Mars Science Lab mission.

In addition to designing and building advanced space robotic systems, MDA has an extensive skill set required to successfully operate these assets on orbit, including mission analysis, operator training, detailed operations analysis, mission planning, and on-orbit real-time support. MDA's real-world, on-orbit expertise is capable of meeting ever-more demanding requirements that will advance the use of robots in space, and in terrestrial applications for medical and nuclear industries.
