U.S. satellite imagery company Maxar Technologies Inc said on Monday it would sell its space robotics business to a consortium led by Northern Private Capital (NPC) for $1 billion, in a bid to ease its debt.
The sale of the business, called MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA), will include all of MDA’s Canadian operations.
