Command & Data Handling ( C&DH ) Unit — The C&DH unit is a satellite's control centre, providing  the spacecraft platform with control and monitoring of all subsystems. With the  increase in demand for smaller platforms and constellations, more compact and  capable C&DH units are required. As a result, a significant amount of  innovation is needed to combine all of the necessary functions into a smaller,  more compact unit. MDA will develop new portions of the C&DH unit, while creating innovative  methods to reduce mass, power, cost, and resource utilization, and maximizing  performance, reliability and flexibility.
