MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA) has signed an agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA) for RADARSAT-2 data, this coming shortly after announcing a deal with Russian.
The deal worth $11 million will see MDA provide ESA imagery from RADARSAT-2 from June of this year through to May in 2014.
