Burloak Technologies and MDA are proud to announce the recent award of the Canadian Space Agency’s Space Technology Development Program (STDP) project “Large Scale Additive Manufactured RF Satellite Communication Sub-Systems”. This two (2) year project will directly advance Burloak’s recent success in the application of Additive Manufacturing (A.M.) for flight applications in commercial space. In partnership with MDA, a Maxar company, Burloak will, with this project, scale up the application of the technology to develop more complex components specifically targeting the sub-system level. Burloak will apply its recently flight certified material processes for Aluminum and Titanium, along with its Invar and Copper processes, to bring a best in class solution to this project. This project will further leverage the gains that A.M. offers to the design and manufacture of complex, lightweight systems in this market. We thank the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and our partners at MDA for the support provided to the Burloak Technologies team as we ensure Canada remains a leader in space technology. Burloak Technologies is a division of Samuel Son & Company.
