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.

Breaking! 🚀 🇨🇦 NordSpace successfully tested its fully integrated sub-orbital rocket, Taiga, powered by its proprietary and in-house 3D printed Hadfield engines and pressure vessels. This marks a significant step forward in preparation for Canada’s first commercial space launch. Taiga is the only commercial liquid rocket being developed in Canada, and is expected to launch later this year from our own spaceport, Spaceport Canada. Canada finds itself at a critical juncture with its sovereignty in space at stake. Our successful integrated rocket test is a major leap forward, and we are already in the advanced phases of completing the flight-ready version of Taiga. NordSpace was founded in 2022, and in a short time period has rapidly developed significant rocket technologies, launch and test infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing capabilities. NordSpace's CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said “This successful test is not only a testament to our team and nation’s unmatched technical capabilities, but also our resilience and sheer determination. I witnessed our team for days and nights on end battling extreme winter conditions with undefeated resolve and grit. It confirmed that we do have the right stuff, and we will deliver this incredibly important sovereign 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 sovereignty, environment, security and economy, but are also relegating Canada to a participatory instead of a leadership role in this domain. NordSpace will not let this happen.” Recently, NordSpace announced the inaugural Canadian Space Launch Conference (CSLC), taking place in Ottawa on April 29th, 2025. The first event of its kind in Canada which will invite participants from industry, academia, and government to plan Canada’s future commercial launch efforts. NordSpace is working closely with the Canadian Government and its many industrial partners to ensure a safe and historic launch from Canadian soil, and would like to thank Transport Canada, 3 Canadian Space Division, National Defence, ISED, Canadian Space Agency, NAV CANADA, Space Canada | Espace Canada, Ontario Government Ontario Economy, and Government of Newfoundland & Labrador for their substantial efforts.

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."
