MDA Space is continuing work on a robotic arm for the lunar Gateway while it discusses the future of the project with the Canadian Space Agency.
In a May 7 earnings call to discuss the company's first-quarter financial results, MDA executives said they are pressing ahead with Canadarm3 despite NASA's announcement in March that it was effectively canceling the Gateway to focus instead on a lunar base.
Canadarm3 is Canada's contribution to the Gateway, which also includes elements provided by Europe, Japan and the United Arab Emirates as well as NASA itself.
