January 28, 2026 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MDA Space, a trusted mission partner to the rapidly expanding global space industry, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hanwha Systems Co., Ltd., a global leader in smart technologies and aerospace solutions. Through this MOU, MDA Space and Hanwha will explore opportunities to collaborate on the development of Korea's sovereign Low Earth Orbit (K-LEO) defence constellation, leveraging MDA's AURORA™ software-defined digital satellites.
The K-LEO constellation is a flagship national initiative designed to strengthen Korea's sovereign defence capabilities and ensure secure, resilient communications and data services for national security operations. MDA Space and Hanwha will work together to assess how MDA AURORA's flexible, software-defined architecture can support Hanwha in addressing evolving mission requirements, maximizing operational efficiency, and enabling robust, scalable satellite solutions for the K-LEO defence program.
"We are honoured to partner with Hanwha in support of Korea's sovereign K-LEO defence constellation," said Mike Greenley, CEO of MDA Space. "This collaboration highlights the global confidence in MDA AURORA's secure dual-use software-defined satellite technology to deliver mission-critical flexibility, performance, and resilience for national defence networks. Together with Hanwha, we look forward to advancing Korea's defence infrastructure and enabling a new era of secure connectivity."
"This MOU marks an important first step in exploring collaboration with a global partner to advance Korea's defence space capabilities," said Jae-il Son, CEO of Hanwha Systems. "We will continue to assess next-generation satellite solutions capable of addressing evolving operational requirements."
