Canada cannot depend on NASA anymore for launching satellites or military assets into space. We are getting a space port in Canso, Nova Scotia.
-from the article:
In one fell swoop, the government has traded decades of sitting on the sidelines for a concrete commitment to sovereign launch, anchored by a $200-million spaceport lease.
Driven by the escalating militarization of space and the vulnerabilities of relying on foreign launch providers, the Department of National Defence (DND) has laid out a dual-track strategy to secure the country’s orbital autonomy.
Beyond the Maritime Launch Services agreement, Ottawa is injecting an initial $24.9 million into three domestic aerospace startups—NordSpace, Canada Rocket Company (CRC), and Reaction Dynamics (RDX). “Space is fundamental to modern military operations. The Canadian Armed Forces rely on space-enabled capabilities for everything from communications and navigation to awareness of the operating environment. Strengthening Canada’s ability to operate in space will help ensure we continue to build the warfighting capabilities needed to defend Canada and contribute to allied operations in an increasingly complex security environment.” – General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff
Roadmap:
end of 2026: Canadian military launch pad is operational.
