That’s a wrap! NordSpace has successfully completed an intense month long campaign to qualify and test the limits of our Hadfield Mk III liquid rocket engine - metal 3D printed, regen cooled, and Earth-shakingly powerful. Next up is our first flight, scheduled for this summer, which will make Canadian history as the nation’s first commercial launch from a commercial spaceport 🇨🇦 Assured access to space will completely reshape Canada’s sovereignty, security, and economy. NordSpace is working around the clock to ensure this future for our nation by building an end-to-end space missions company backed by a launch and propulsion architecture designed to be competitive in the modern launch era: ✅ Scalable to medium lift (~5 tonnes to orbit) to address the most profitable and critical commercial and defence markets ✅ Rapidly reusable to drastically reduce cost and increase launch cadence ✅ Highly portable for tactical responsive launch and low operational overhead Our Hadfield Mk III engine was our most successful iteration yet. We achieved many new feats: ➡️ 24-hour turnaround and rapid refurbishment of the engine after multiple tests, developing our pipeline for future rapid reusability ➡️ Perfect operation of our new Darkhorse engine test cell, built to support tests of our orbital Hadfield and Garneau engines and turbopump systems ➡️ Reduced time between engine tests to 20 minutes, allowing for countless back-to-back firings ➡️ Significant technology upgrades to boost personnel safety and efficiency including NordLink to allow for full automation and remote management of engine tests Stay tuned for some major updates about our launch, satellite, spaceport, and defence programs ranging from the Atlantic all the way to the Arctic!

We are proud and excited to announce a historic $5M investment in our new spaceport, Spaceport Canada! This investment and project is being developed to support NordSpace's Tundra launch vehicle and bring Canada one major step closer to sovereign launch as the nation's first operational spaceport. Read all the details in our press release: Canada is the only G7 nation without sovereign launch capabilities. In addition to countless benefits for Canada’s national security, environmental protection efforts, and global leadership, such a capability would result in an estimated 650 new highly qualified personnel (HQPs) over the next decade alone and $2.5B in economic development. NordSpace is working actively with the Canadian Government to ensure the success of Spaceport Canada, and would like to thank Transport Canada, NAV CANADA, Global Affairs Canada, Canadian Space Agency, and Space Canada | Espace Canada for their continued support. A second launch pad, Pad B, is also planned to support partner launch vehicles under the upcoming Technology Safeguards Agreement with the United States. NordSpace has been working with the @DeptofDefense, Space Systems Command, and the @SpaceForceDoD to ensure the development of Pad B is strategically aligned. --- NordSpace’s CEO, Rahul Goel, commented - “We are facing another Avro Arrow moment in Canada, and have a decision to make as a nation. Will we remain spectators, or will we aspire to be participants and leaders in the new commercial space era? Canada's environment, economy, security and sovereignty are at stake. Opening the floodgates to space with a Canadian launch vehicle, from a Canadian spaceport, carrying a Canadian payload - that is the definition of sovereign launch, and it will change the shape of our great nation for generations.” When asked to comment on NordSpace's announcement of Spaceport Canada, Space Canada's CEO and former Premier of New Brunswick, Brian Gallant said "The value of developing domestic space launch capabilities, including commercial, cannot be understated as it will allow us to launch Canadian space technologies from Canada. In addition to the fact that the demand for commercial launch services is growing both nationally and globally, given space is a strategic sector playing a pivotal role in defence by protecting our security and sovereignty, Canada needs to enhance its domestic launch capabilities."

Hey Canada, we have a spaceport! 🇨🇦🚀 NordSpace's beautiful Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) is officially under construction outside the town of St. Lawrence, in Newfoundland and Labrador! With our first launch of a Canadian commercial rocket from a Canadian commercial spaceport set to take flight in the coming weeks, the future of a true sovereign capability for assured access to space has never looked so promising. We're thrilled to share footage of ASX's SLC-02 publicly for the first time. ASX will support NordSpace’s first commercial launch of our Taiga suborbital rocket with Taiga's launch window opening on August 25th 2025. Taiga is powered by the company’s proprietary 3D-printed Hadfield Mk III liquid rocket engine, and the mission is named "Getting Screeched In". The launch window is subject to road and power interruptions due to the ongoing state of emergency in Newfoundland and Labrador. This launch follows a series of successful tests, including a fully integrated rocket test and a month-long qualification campaign for the Hadfield Mk III engine. Both demonstrated rapid refurbishment capabilities and turnarounds between tests, paving the way for reusable and cost-effective launch operations from Canadian soil. ASX is designed to support our Tundra orbital launch vehicle and partner launch vehicles, facilitating a wide range of orbital and suborbital missions situated at a 46 degree latitude. The initial $10M phase of development for the Atlantic Spaceport Complex will feature two sites: 🚀 SLC-01 will feature two launch pads for orbital missions including NordSpace’s Tundra vehicle and international launch partners from the U.S. and Europe. 🚀 SLC-02 will consist of at least one smaller launch pad for suborbital missions, radar systems for vehicle tracking and space domain awareness, and other ground support equipment to enable all launch operations at the ASX. The ASX will also support NordSpace’s broader portfolio, including our SHARP (Supersonic and Hypersonic Applications Research Platform) program. NordSpace’s CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said, “The start of construction at the Atlantic Spaceport Complex is a seminal moment for Canada. This is not just about building a launch site; it’s about building a future where Canada leads in space exploration, innovation, and security. The ASX is critical national infrastructure that will unlock assured access to space, ensuring our sovereignty and fostering economic growth for generations. We are committed to making the vision of a true sovereign end-to-end space missions capability a reality, and today’s groundbreaking is a testament to our team’s relentless dedication, speed, and capability.” We thank Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, Transport Canada, National Defence, Canadian Space Agency and NAV CANADA for their support.

Alhamdulillah! After months of dedicated effort, persistent follow-up, and close engagement with all stakeholders, the Punjab Assembly has today passed the bill upgrading UET Lahore Sub-Campus Narowal into an independent University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Narowal. This landmark achievement marks the beginning of a new era of growth, excellence, innovation, and opportunity for the youth of Narowal and the surrounding region. As an autonomous institution, UET Narowal will be better positioned to expand academic programs, strengthen research and innovation, forge industry linkages, and produce the highly skilled human capital required for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. The legislation has been carefully designed to meet the demands of the new technological age, incorporating modern governance, academic, and institutional frameworks that will enable the university to evolve into a centre of excellence in engineering, technology, entrepreneurship, and applied research. I congratulate the students, faculty, alumni, and people of Narowal on this historic milestone. This achievement reinforces our commitment to investing in education, empowering our youth, and building a knowledge-driven Pakistan in line with the vision of URAAN Pakistan. The journey has only begun. InshaAllah, UET Narowal will emerge as one of Pakistan’s leading innovation driven technological institutions and a catalyst for regional and national development.
