The global market demand for launch services was valued at $10 billion US in 2022 and it's growing quickly. Commercial and government satellite operators are looking for a safe, efficient, and competitive spaceport to call home, much like an airport serves as a home for an airline operator.
Spaceport Nova Scotia is licensed to launch vehicles with up to 5,000 kg payloads. Located near Canso, Nova Scotia, the most desirable location in North America, we offer launch vehicle operators a complete range of launch azimuths for their satellite clients. From the coast of Nova Scotia with a clear expanse of open ocean to Europe in the east, to Africa and through to South America, launch vehicles can deliver payloads to orbital destinations where - and when - they want from a commercial launch site. Our range of launch inclinations from a single site is simply unmatched in North America.
At Spaceport Nova Scotia, we are building a fully integrated site that will support our clients with completing the final assembly of hardware, payload integration, and launch support. The highly experienced team at Spaceport Nova Scotia will manage launch service support activities allowing you, the launch operator, to completely focus on your mission.
