Spar may have lost satellite deal but wins lucrative subcontract
Article Abstract:
Spar Aerospace Ltd., based in Toronto in Ontario, Canada, has won a subcontract on the main C$305-million Canadian federal government contract for which it bid but lost. The winning bidder on the Radarsat II Earth observation satellite contract, MacDonald Detwiler and Associates Ltd., has reportedly commissioned Spar Aerospace to build the radar payload that will travel on the satellite. The subcontract, originally valued at C$4.7 million but could be worth up to C$90 million through the next 28 months, encompasses the construction of the sophisticated Synthetic Aperture Radar, which would take detailed images of the Earth through fog, darkness and clouds.
