The process of ISS based experimentation begins and ends with the Principle Investigator (PI) who conceives the idea for a payload which will address an area of fundamental or applied research. MDA has extensive experience in developing hardware and systems for the ISS that can support the PI with an end-to-end payload development service. This includes the effort to design, fabricate, test, certify, launch, and operate the payload. During the design phase, MDA can prepare technical documentation as required, develop the hardware and software, simulate the operation of the payload, develop the verification plan, perform hazard analyses as required, and perform the necessary safety and design reviews. During the fabrication and test phases, MDA can build the hardware and generate the software, perform verification tests, support the necessary reviews, plus certify the payload for launch to the ISS. During flight, MDA can support on orbit installation, operation (including telescience), and removal activities. As the robotics Prime Contractor for the ISS, MDA has unique expertise to design and operate payloads that require remote robotic handling. After flight, MDA can safely store the payload and return any generated samples to the PI.

ISS-certified Hardware (with NASA & CSA Approvals):

  • Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS)
  • Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM)
  • Robotic Workstations (RWS)
  • Enhanced Orbital Temporary Platform (EOTP)
  • Mobile Base System (MbS)

Facilities to Support ISS Utilization:

  • Houston, Texas
  • Pasadena, California
  • Palo Alto, California
  • Denver, Colorado
  • Washington, DC
  • Toronto, Ontario
