Infrastructure
Launch Infrastructure
Dedicated orbital and suborbital launch complexes designed around your vehicle. Long-term tenancy, campaign support and scalable infrastructure.
Launch Services
Reliable, repeatable access to orbit.
A licensed, airport-style launch complex for heritage vehicle developers and commercial, government, and defence customers, small and medium-class vehicles delivering up to 5,000 kg to low-Earth orbit.
The airport model
We run the spaceport. You run the mission.
Our ecosystem
Join Canada's launch network.
The vehicle developers, agencies, and suppliers building Canadian launch are already here, and the network is still growing.

Spaceport Nova Scotia
Canada's dual-use launch complex.
Geography, licensing, and a heritage-only flight manifest make Spaceport Nova Scotia one of the most capable commercial launch sites in North America.
See the spaceport
Rare orbital access
One of the widest ranges of orbital inclinations in North America, from 45° to 98°, including the polar and sun-synchronous orbits.
Secure over-ocean trajectories
Launch paths point south over the open Atlantic, with no populated land beneath the flight path for thousands of kilometres and uncongested airspace overhead.
Up to 5,000 kg to LEO
Licensed for small and medium-class, two-stage launch vehicles delivering up to 5,000 kg to low-Earth orbit, with scalable multi-pad capacity.
Heritage vehicles only
Every vehicle that flies from Spaceport Nova Scotia must have demonstrated launch heritage, proven before it reaches the pad, not promised.
Sovereign launch
A sovereign path to orbit.
Spaceport Nova Scotia is dual-use infrastructure, supporting commercial customers and sovereign government missions from the same coast, without depending on foreign launch providers.
The Government of Canada has selected it as its dedicated site for sovereign launch, supporting the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces, and named it Canada's designated site for NATO Starlift. Demand for the site from Canada's international allies is high, reflecting the growing need for trusted, allied access to orbit.
