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."

Success! 🚀 🇨🇦 At 3:45 PM EDT on Friday May 16th, 2025, we successfully tested both our new orbital Darkhorse engine test cell and our new third generation 3D printed Hadfield liquid rocket engine for the first time, marking a significant step towards Canada’s first commercial space launch. The test ran for 7 seconds at our propulsion test range, a company-owned secure site in Northeastern Ontario, successfully delivering nominal thrust, active cooling, and impulse results. This major test of the Darkhorse test cell and Hadfield Mk III engine lays the groundwork for NordSpace's Tundra orbital rocket, as the test cell is specifically designed to integrate with our turbo pump assembly in the next phase of propulsion development. Long duration tests are scheduled for the coming days, along with refinements to fuel mixture ratios and higher-pressure scenarios to test the limits of Darkhorse and our new engines. Minor upgrades and fixes to address a harmless leak in the cryogenic liquid oxygen line and design changes to our experimental control rods have already been made. Hot on the heels of our successful integrated test of our Taiga sub-orbital launch vehicle back in January, rapid developments and approvals at our spaceport in Newfoundland and Labrador, announcement of the SHARP (Supersonics and Hypersonics Applications Research Program), hosting the inaugural Canadian Space Launch Conference in Ottawa, and more - NordSpace is strengthening its position every day to ensure sovereign space launch is not just possible, but probable for Canada. Our historic first experimental flight is scheduled for 2025 from our spaceport, Spaceport Canada. NordSpace's CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said “This successful test is not only a testament to NordSpace’s unmatched technical competency, but also to the success of our new project management framework, design philosophy, and engineering mindset used to deliver results for complex projects on time and within budget. Success on the first try with countless potential sources of failure is not common in the development of complex rocket systems, but our team succeeded by prioritizing first principles engineering. This test confirmed that we do have the right stuff, and that we will deliver this incredibly important sovereign launch capability for all Canadians. Like the land, air, and sea, space is no longer some final frontier for Canada. Space is an essential domain we must unlock, and launch a capability we must own. Without it, we are jeopardizing not only our security, sovereignty and economy, but are also relegating Canada to a participatory instead of a leadership role on the world stage. We must not let this happen.”

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.

Today marks the most significant milestone in NordSpace's history. We have been awarded $8.3 million in Phase 1 grant funding and selected as a winner of Canada’s Department of National Defence's Launch the North IDEaS challenge, toward the development of our Tundra orbital launch vehicle. Launch the North represents Canada’s most significant investment in sovereign space launch. As a part of the government’s $182.6 million investment in sovereign space launch, DND and CAF aim to secure Canada's strategic autonomy in space, reduce dependence on foreign launch providers, and position Canada as a global leader in commercial and defence-oriented space launch. Canada's moment has arrived. What distinguishes NordSpace is the depth of its vertical integration. We design and manufacture our own engines and vehicles, develop and operate our own spaceport, build and fly our own satellites, and invest in the broader Canadian space ecosystem. This end-to-end architecture stands unique in Canada, inspired by industry leaders such as SpaceX and Rocket Lab, and constitutes the foundational infrastructure upon which a durable, truly sovereign Canadian space industry can be built. At the centre of our architecture is Tundra, powered by our in-house designed and manufactured 3D printed Hadfield engines and capable of delivering 500+ kg to LEO and 350+ kg to SSO. In its Tundra+ configuration, this grows to 1,100 kg to LEO and 850 kg to SSO, with a direct scaling path to our Titan medium-lift vehicle targeting 5,000+ kg to LEO. A proven modular 3D printed engine architecture reduces development time and risk while ensuring Canada's sovereign launch capability grows in step with national defence, commercial, and allied demand over the coming decade. Our Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) in Newfoundland and Labrador is the only purpose-built commercial orbital launch facility in Canada and one of the most strategically advantaged launch sites in the western hemisphere. The ASX supports launch inclinations of 44 to 105 degrees over the Atlantic Ocean, the widest range available from any Canadian site. It also offers the largest safety distances of any spaceport in Canada and highest approved launch cadence, lending to our medium-lift future. The ASX received its landmark environmental approval from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and is already under rapid construction with its first launch planned this spring of our Taiga rocket. This award will ultimately lead to the creation of 134 direct jobs by 2028, growing to 650+ by 2032, with 1,600+ indirect and induced jobs across Canada's industrial base as we scale to medium-lift. We rely on a wide ecosystem of Canadian partners including Magellan Aerospace, Kongsberg Geospatial, C-CORE, and Indigenous-led suppliers across the country.

For years, NordSpace has been building towards one goal: launching Canadian payloads on Canadian rockets from Canadian soil in a way that’s technologically scalable and commercially sustainable through painstaking vertical integration. Today, that vision is rapidly taking shape and we are pleased to share this inspiring video preview of what Canada’s historic first sovereign orbital space launch will look like. Enjoy! Tundra is NordSpace’s domestically designed, built, and operated light-lift responsive orbital rocket. It can carry up to 1,100 kg fully optimized to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) powered by our proprietary Hadfield rocket engines that are 3D-printed, regeneratively cooled, and pump fed representing the most powerful orbital-class propulsion system in Canada. The modular architecture means the same engine powers both the multi-engine first stage and the vacuum-optimized second stage, reducing complexity while creating a direct scaling path toward our future reusable Titan medium-lift vehicle, capable of 5,000+ kg to LEO. The Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX), under construction in Newfoundland and Labrador, is positioned at 46 degrees latitude providing launch access to polar, sun-synchronous, and mid-inclination orbits with the widest range of nominal launch inclinations of any Canadian spaceport. It’s the only fully Canadian-owned and purpose-built commercial orbital launch facility in the country with the highest approved launch cadence and safety distances allowing us to maximize the efficiency, reliability, scalability, and unit economics of our entire launch program. What distinguishes NordSpace is our commitment to vertical integration and first principles approach to business and technology. Rockets, spaceport, and spacecraft are all designed, manufactured, and operated in Canada by one streamlined team. We have already demonstrated flight-ready propulsion, completed integrated rocket tests, and have our first pathfinder satellite, Terra Nova, manifested for launch in 2026 with our edge-AI imaging payload (Chronos) for space domain awareness nd our electric propulsion system (Zephyr-EP). With recently announced $8.3 million in Phase 1 federal funding through the Department of National Defence’s Launch the North initiative, NordSpace is targeting Initial Operational Capability by 2028. Canada is about to become a true spacefaring nation, and our future on Earth and in space will never be the same.

We’re proud to reveal our powerful new in-house 3D printed Hadfield Engine Mk III - 100% designed, manufactured, tested and flown in Canada by NordSpace. With this new version, we are bringing massive improvements to thrust and regenerative cooling as we prepare for our first flight this year and make Canadian history. Seeing this engine come to life after months of painstaking design, analysis, testing, and refinement was a breathtaking moment for the entire NordSpace team. This version of the Hadfield Engine also marks our first engine designed to transition NordSpace from pressure fed systems to turbo pump fed cycles (currently under active development) and very long duration burns. These would be massive leaps forward for Canada’s orbital space launch ambitions and sovereign assured access to space. Our team has developed unique mastery over metal 3D printing complex aerospace components to produce flawless prints like this engine with challenging internal geometries, angles, and features. As for next steps, this engine will be post processed, inspected, and heat treated all in-house, then shipped to our new Darkhorse propulsion test cell at our Canadian Space Research Range. Keep an eye out for some epic hotfire footage coming soon as we turn up the heat and accelerate our pace of development at NordSpace. We’re just getting started! We will have our three generations of the Hadfield Engine and more on display at the inaugural Canadian Space Launch Conference on April 29th in Ottawa. With only a week left to register, join nearly 200 people all playing a role to bring sovereign space launch capabilities to Canada

Progress at NordSpace's Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) in Newfoundland and Labrador is moving quickly both at SLC-01 and SLC-02 in preparation for Tundra’s orbital launch as early as 2028 and ahead of our first of several planned Taiga suborbital launches starting soon. SLC-01 is the site of our orbital launch pads, sized to scale to reusable medium-lift and larger vehicles. SLC-02 is the site for light-lift and suborbital launches, and as seen in this video, pad and site upgrades are in progress. Taiga launching will mark the first ever commercial liquid rocket launch in Canadian history, and is being specifically upgraded and engineered by a small team at NordSpace to fly often and retire risk for our orbital vehicle with successive missions for Tundra including in propulsion, manufacturing, structures, licensing, day-of-launch operations, flight termination, avionics, active controls, and more. SLC-01’s road tender closed earlier this week, and we are in the process of reviewing the bids. Critical design elements of SLC-01 are being finalized to maximize capability, interoperability, and safety this summer to achieve initial operational readiness by 2027. With an approved spaceport integrated into our vertically aligned launch architecture, NordSpace is uniquely positioned to compete for and support national security, civil, and commercial missions requiring responsive and reliable launch from Canadian soil. The Atlantic Spaceport Complex offers a set of unmatched capabilities: ✅ Widest range of nominal launch inclinations in Canada from 44 to 105 degrees over the Atlantic Ocean, enabling access to polar, sun-synchronous, mid-inclination, and select equatorial trajectories ✅ Positioned 5+ km (extendable to 10+ km) from the nearest town with 6,000 acre buffer zone, enabling the safe operation of medium-lift and future heavy-lift launch vehicles by offering the largest safety distances of any launch site in Canada ✅ Approved for an initial ramp up to 20 launches per year, offering the greatest cadence of launches in Canada ✅ Supported by nearby seaports, airports, and highway infrastructure, providing multiple logistics pathways for launch vehicles and payloads For NordSpace, the ASX is a foundational element of our end-to-end launch strategy and a direct extension of our launch vehicles. Internalizing spaceport operations enables more efficient and scalable mission execution, guaranteed schedule and range control, enhanced reliability with redundant infrastructure, and reduced launch costs, all while allowing us to capture greater value across the launch supply chain. NordSpace's responsive launch vehicles under development comprise light-lift Tundra (1,100 kg), Tundra+ extension to medium-lift (2,000+ kg), and future reusable medium-lift Tempest (5,000+ kg LEO).

Canada's first orbital-class rocket engine is now being manufactured! Our patent pending Hadfield-150 engine is the largest and most powerful rocket engine ever built in Canada, and the first known Canadian orbital-class engine to make it to this stage. The Hadfield-150 builds on everything we learned after years of painstakingly designing, manufacturing, and testing the Hadfield-10 series, our first regeneratively cooled and additively manufactured liquid rocket engine. Every engine test, both successful and unsuccessful on our Darkhorse test stand at Area 66, retired risk that's now carried straight into Hadfield-150 and sovereign orbital launch for Canada. A few details about the Hadfield-150 engine series: ✅ Designed to power Tundra and Tundra+, our light and medium-lift launch vehicles, and built to scale to Tempest, our larger reusable medium lift vehicle ✅ Manufactured entirely in-house, from design to print to test, for true sovereign launch capability ✅ Produced at Rocket Factory 1, on our expanding fleet of metal additive manufacturing systems at the AMA Lab, including the largest known metal 3D printer in Canada ✅ Designed for reusability and medium-lift scale from the outset, and built to significantly cut the time, infrastructure, manufacturing and cost iterative engine testing usually requires, with room to scale to even larger engines by leveraging the same design ✅ Capable of engine-out functionality, so losing one on an early flight doesn't have to mean losing the mission ✅ Optimized for Canada's Launch the North initiative, to deliver sovereign operational capability in a time and cost efficient manner Initial testing starts later this year at our new Blackhawk orbital engine test cell at Area 66, our private test range in Ontario. Stacked, integrated vehicle testing comes later at the Atlantic Spaceport Complex, our spaceport in Newfoundland and Labrador. Stay tuned for some exciting and fiery milestones ahead! 🚀🇨🇦 National Defence Defence Research and Development Canada Canadian Space Agency Transport Canada NGen Canada

Here is one of our experimental 3D printed Hadfield liquid rocket engines going through some thrust vector control (TVC) profiles! As we scale to our first light-lift orbital launch vehicle, Tundra, and then our medium-lift reusable launch vehicle, Titan, precise control of the rocket at every phase of flight is critical to mission success. Guiding a rocket to orbit, and eventually back to Earth, demands close coordination across every sub-team. Some of the key challenges we’re tackling: ➡️ Reliable & repeatable TVC actuation: ensuring the engine gimbal responds consistently across every test and flight ➡️ High-frequency control loops: real-time systems that keep the vehicle stable from liftoff to orbital insertion ➡️ Propellant sloshing: accounting for the movement of fluids in tanks and its effect on vehicle dynamics ➡️ Wind shear compensation: countering atmospheric disturbances during ascent ➡️ Structural bending & flex modes: managing how the vehicle’s primary structure responds to aerodynamic and thrust loads ➡️ Precision payload delivery: hitting the exact target orbit, every time Our team at NordSpace has been advancing our propulsion systems on many fronts, as we work to unveil our orbital-scale, pump-fed Hadfield and Garneau rocket engines in the near future — the engines that will carry Canada to orbit for the first time, and unlock sovereign access to space. Check out some of our rocket hardware, meet our engineers, join over 400 attendees and over 40 speakers at the Canadian Space Launch Conference, taking place this May 5th in Ottawa.

Last week, we pushed our Hadfield MK IV engine and Darkhorse engine test cell to their limits ahead of our upcoming thrust vector control (TVC) and orbital engine test campaigns. It was thrilling to see this controlled test go sideways — literally! Orbital launch vehicles operate within narrow design margins and constrained safety factors, where excess mass in any subsystem directly impacts payload capacity or mission viability. Destructive and limit testing enable us to validate optimal mass-performance trade-offs across propulsion, pressure systems, and primary structures. Key outcomes from this test include: ✅ Structural margins validated – Darkhorse demonstrated stable operation under full thrust loads at gimbal angles exceeding design specifications ✅ Thermal performance characterized – Extended burn duration at off-nominal mixture ratios provided empirical data on regenerative cooling degradation modes and injector thermal limits ✅ Fault tolerance demonstrated – Engine maintained functionality despite progressive damage, validating robustness for anomalous flight conditions ✅ TVC readiness confirmed – Test results validate system integration for upcoming actuated TVC test series l Design optimization insights – Failure mode analysis generated actionable improvements for cooling architecture, injector design, thrust structures, and engine reusability At NordSpace, we push limits. Canada needs to get to orbit with sovereign light-lift launch by 2028 and medium-lift launch by the early 2030s. The only way this is possible is through extreme levels of testing, manufacturing, and investment. Our mission to build a Canadian end-to-end space missions capability will change the shape of our nation both on Earth and in space. If you would like to join our mission, please apply for a role at NordSpace via the Careers page on our website, and join us at the Canadian Space Launch Conference on May 5th, in Ottawa.

After years of development, testing and refinement, we are printing one of our last Hadfield-10 rocket engines, a bittersweet moment 🫡 More of our team is transitioning toward getting our much larger orbital-class Hadfield-100 engine ready for the test stand, and getting Canada to orbit for the first time with our Tundra rocket. The pressure-fed Hadfield-10 series has been the backbone of NordSpace's propulsion program since our earliest days. It's the engine that proved we could design, manufacture, test and fly liquid rocket engines from scratch, entirely in-house, at the pace necessary to reach orbit. It powered our first successful hot-fire tests, survived our most demanding qualification campaigns, and gave our team the hard-won knowledge that no textbook or simulation could provide. It also powers our Taiga sub-orbital vehicle, which is taking flight in a few weeks. Every experimental lesson learned in its development from combustion stability, regenerative cooling, additive manufacturing, and test operations lives on in what comes next. That knowledge now flows directly into our turbopump fed Hadfield-100 engine, the most powerful rocket engine in Canadian history. Designed to power our orbital Tundra rocket to deliver 500+ kg to LEO and scaling further to 1,100 kg LEO in the Tundra+ configuration. Architected from day one to grow to the thrust levels required for our reusable Titan medium-lift vehicle targeting 5,000+ kg to LEO while striking the right balance between performance, scalability, heritage, and speed of development to meet the Government of Canada's targets. The Hadfield-10's design will also form the foundation of our SHARP Sabre hypersonic rocket's M2S-HyRock engine. The full shift to the Hadfield-100 is a major milestone for us, and it's not just about more powerful engines. The infrastructure we're developing from moving to a much larger facility, acquiring much larger metal 3D printers, developing new test cells, and pursuing rigorous standards all feed in to this next phase of growth for our program. To everyone on the NordSpace team who designed, printed, tested, and refined these engines across so many late nights, early mornings and weekends, thank you. This chapter made everything that follows possible, and the next one starts now.

NordSpace is proud to announce another major orbital launch program milestone. Alongside our ongoing orbital hardware development, we have successfully completed the high-fidelity trajectory and flight dynamics model for our Tundra orbital rocket after 2 years of intense design effort, thousands of simulations, and hundreds of physical tests. This high-fidelity model is far more than a simulation milestone or simply selecting the vehicle's capabilities. It is the cornerstone of the entire vehicle design loop, the foundation required for regulatory commercial flight approval, and the only way to confidently predict and guarantee the performance required to achieve orbit. It integrates detailed aerodynamics, structural loads, propulsion constraints, flight mechanics, guidance, navigation, and control, and much more into a single unified framework that will guide every major design decision moving forward. Crossing this milestone gives us the ability to continue to rapidly advance the engineering efforts behind our orbital launch architecture from engines and tanks, to GNC and GSE. Uniquely, we're focused on a lot more than just a light-lift vehicle. Our entire architecture is based upon selecting key technologies and design pathways that result in the most efficient progression from Tundra (500 kg to LEO, 350 kg to SSO) to Titan, our reusable medium lift vehicle (5,000 kg to LEO, 3,500 kg to SSO). Our architecture even allows for the option to extend Tundra without major modifications to a Tundra+ variant, allowing for 1,100 kg to LEO and 850 kg to SSO. It is crucial to balance the thousands of variables and parameters that go into selecting a scalable and flexible architecture which benefits from the flight heritage of decades of rocket development before us, while also ensuring the capability is globally competitive and domestically relevant to Canada. Our Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) in Newfoundland and Labrador will be experiencing significant growth, investment and construction over the coming year as it prepares to host Tundra's launches. Owning and operating our own infrastructure and manufacturing facilities, end-to-end, enables the maximum level of flexibility and efficiency we need to meet Canada's timelines to develop sovereign space launch. Let's launch the north! Transport Canada National Defence Defence Research and Development Canada Canadian Space Agency

WATCH: Trump just gave the Canadian Prime Minister a BRUTAL reality check in front of the world. "We don't really want cars from Canada, and we put tariffs on cars from Canada, and at a certain point, it won't make economic sense for Canada to build those cars. And we don't want steel from Canada because we're making our own steel, and we're having massive steel plants being built right now as we speak. We really don't want Canadian steel and we don't want Canadian aluminum and various other things because we want to be able to do it ourselves." "We have a tremendous deficit with Canada. In other words, they have a surplus with us, and there's no reason for us to be subsidizing Canada. Canada is a place that will have to be able to take care of itself economically."

Conservatives are back in Ottawa this week, and the Liberals have already begun cancelling meetings to silence our voices on the critical issues facing Canada as they win their costly majority. At Immigration Committee, we wanted to press the government on identified terrorists in Canada at this very moment, and I wanted to discuss the failure of this government to protect Canadian victims from extortion and exploitation. This is happening in Niagara at this very moment, as I highlighted to the media yesterday, and I will bet that not a single media outlet in our area will cover my comments on behalf of the people of Niagara South. We will not stop fighting for you.
