Description
Maritime Launch is a public company from Nova Scotia with permission to create the first Canadian space port located in Canso, Nova Scotia. It plans to launch small rockets, so early customers will all launch satellites. Their CEO claims a breakeven point at a single launch per year and initial capacity of 6 launches per year.
While Canadian space tends to watch the Americans more than copying them, having our own spaceport provides many benefits. For clients, launching from Nova Scotia provides access to unique orbits that are difficult to insert spacecraft into from locations further south. For Canadians, a domestic place to launch reduces the number of headaches required to get a spacecraft into orbit or beyond.
