MDA Space confirmed Monday it is building a new generation of Apple-funded satellites for Globalstar. The Canadian company said Monday it was building more than 50 satellites, based on its new reprogrammable Aurora platform, under a contract valued at 1.1 billion Canadian dollars ($768 million). Few details were provided about the latest contract, first teased in 2023 after MDA Space disclosed it had received initial funding from an unnamed customer to kick off the project. MDA previously won a contract to refresh Globalstar's existing constellation, which Apple uses to provide emergency SOS services for iPhones.
