This is how we build Europe's most reliable rocket: MIURA 5 🚀 At our state-of-the-art facility, we manufacture all metallic structures of our launch vehicle and its TEPREL-C family engines (including combustion chambers and turbopumps). Where we combine proven industry technologies with years of heritage and cutting-edge processes like metal additive manufacturing and laser welding. Robust end-to-end process management, with quality control integrated into each step, ensures that all engineering models reach our test benches in Teruel exactly as designed. There, we test and use the results to rapidly iterate and improve manufacturing until every subsystem is qualified. This approach gives us the agility and flexibility to move confidently toward the first MIURA 5 test flight at CSG (CNES/ESA) in Kourou, French Guiana, delivering on our promise of reliability and performance.

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.”

My analysis of the election results and where we go from here. If our community is upset, it's our responsibility to do something about it. In addition to organizing how we'll protect ourselves over the next four years, we need to find and support candidates we are excited to get behind in every election. We need to mobilize the troops to campaign and vote before the primary. We dropped the ball way before yesterday. We have plenty of resources and time and no excuse. Let's learn from this. The time is now!

Today, Romania approved the decision to provide Ukraine with the Patriot system, and I express my sincere gratitude for this. We also expect that our partners will deliver the full package of air defense and other assistance to Ukraine – the very package agreed upon at the NATO summit in Washington this past July. Our Defense Minister has already held a series of meetings in France, the UK, and Germany. We are in constant communication with our American partners and highly value our cooperation with Italy. We are also well-prepared for the upcoming “Ramstein” meeting, which will take place soon. All the agreements we reach with our partners must be implemented as quickly as possible. When decisions are made swiftly, Russia doesn’t have time to adapt, and we achieve especially valuable results. This applies to the protection of our cities and communities from attacks, the support of our soldiers on the frontlines, and the resilience of our country and our people. Moreover, it’s about the resilience of the world—a world that wants to continue living by rules and international law, not by the madness of "putins" and their whims.

Today, I had a discussion with the Minister of Strategic Industries, Oleksandr Kamyshin, to analyze the performance of the ministry and our defense sector enterprises. We have achieved significant results in various areas, including armored vehicles, drones, and artillery. I am grateful to everyone working in our defense industry. It's evident that this sector is becoming much stronger and more efficient. Importantly, we are now seeing substantial foreign investment in our defense production, alongside state budget funds. This is a major accomplishment for us. Today, we also set new tasks for Ukroboronprom and our missile industry. In many areas, we have moved beyond just potential or specific results to actual deliveries for our Defense and Security Forces—deliveries that are continuously increasing. Additionally, we are preparing to enhance the quantity and quality of our long-range drones. Ukraine will always be capable of defending its interests.

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.

FEDOROV: For Ukrainians, it’s important that war ends on just terms that are fair for Ukraine, and that Russia is held accountable. I like how Timothy Snyder, great friend of Ukraine, speaks about this. Fate of the world being decided in Ukraine. Not for first time on our land. We can only speak of lasting peace for the future of our world if the war in Ukraine ends justly and axis of evil is defeated. Therefore, it’s important to stop Russians, to prevent them from advancing and seizing more countries in Europe. It’s crucial that we strengthen our partners and build alliance that serves as reliable safeguard against future wars, one that would allow us to preserve peace for our children for many years to come. The future is being decided in Ukraine today, and we need to keep our partners by our side to deliver final blow to Russia.

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.

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.
