Construction Begins on First Canadian Commercial Spaceport
Briefly

The Atlantic Spaceport Complex in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, represents a significant step in the country's space ambitions. Developed by NordSpace, it comprises two sites: one for suborbital missions and another featuring two launchpads for the Tundra launch vehicle. CEO Rahul Goel emphasized its importance for securing Canada's sovereignty and fostering economic growth. The complex's initial mission involves launching the Taiga launcher, which aims to cross the Kármán line. NordSpace envisions launching one mission per month by the decade's end, marking a pivotal moment for Canadian space exploration.
"This is not just about building a launch site; it's about building a future where Canada leads in space exploration, innovation, and security," said CEO Rahul Goel.
"The ASX is critical national infrastructure that will unlock assured access to space, ensuring our sovereignty and fostering economic growth for generations."
