Maritime Launch recently received the go ahead to initiate the establishment of a small to medium launch center on the tip of a peninsula on the east side of Nova Scotia. Initial objectives are to begin with suborbital operations and build the infrastructure, government support, and client base from that point. The proposed first mission is tentatively set for Q2 of 2023 utilizing a small-class Reaction Dynamics vehicle with a 150 kg max payload rating. Plans to expand to medium capacity launches will follow with a cadence of about 8-10 per year.
