Orbital Research Selected for Canadian Space Development Initiative

Burnaby, BC – March 10, 2025 – Orbital Research, a leader in high-performance satellite communications technology, is proud to announce their participation in the Canadian Space Agency's Strategic Space Technology Development Program (STDP).

 “This initiative supports innovative companies like ours to drive growth and potential in this sector,” says Orbital CEO Ian McEachern. “We are honoured to be selected for two projects that will contribute to advancements in space.”

 Only 16 companies were chosen to participate. In the “Advanced Technologies” category, Orbital will be given the opportunity to further develop industry leading K-Band up/down converters (UDCs). This will provide benefit to the entire sector with more flexible UDCs that support software-defined satellite applications. In the “Space Research and Development” category, Orbital will develop X-Band Up/Down Converters that will advance product designs to a higher technology readiness level.

 To accommodate growth, Orbital recently moved its head office and manufacturing operations into a larger facility. Contact us to schedule a custom tour to learn about new products, innovations, and customization capabilities.
