摘要

Canada's MacDonald, Det-twiler and Associates (MDA) is optimistic it will be able to sell its space division to a U.S. company in the coming months despite the Canadian government's rejection of just such a deal - the $1.33 billion sale to Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK) of Edina, Minn. The key, MDA Chief Executive Dan Friedman said May 12, is whether the Canadian government succeeds in winning British- and Australian-level exemptions to U.S. laws on extraterritorial rights regarding U.S. companies operating abroad. Meanwhile, Friedman said, MDA is focusing its efforts on maximizing the revenue potential of the company's Radarsat-2 high-resolution radar Earth observation satellite, which was launched in December and became operational April 25. Friedman said MDA is negotiating to sell Radarsat-2 follow-on satellites to potential customers in the United States and the Middle East. In a May 12 conference call with investors, Richmond, British Columbia-based MDA said prospects for its space division, known as Information Systems and Geospatial Services, which it had hoped to sell to ATK, have never been better. Specifically, Friedman said the early performance of Radarsat-2 is "an incredible success" and has given MDA credibility as it bids to sell similar satellites outside of Canada.
