Rocket Factory 1 can build 10 small satellites at the same time using NordSpace’s Space Systems Lab.

Rocket Factory 1 will be used in part for Taiga to advance internal talent development, launch operations experience, and in-flight testing of critical technologies for Tundra.

Construction of Rocket Factory 2 is expected to start later this year.

NordSpace’s Tundra+ medium-lift vehicle is designed to carry 2,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit.

NordSpace said the first flight units for Hadfield-150 components are in production.

Rocket Factory 1 includes the Advanced Manufacturing for Aerospace Lab, the Space Systems Lab, several ISO-class clean rooms, manufacturing areas, test facilities, and a mission control centre.

Area 66 in eastern Ontario is a 50-acre propulsion test range.

Area 66 in eastern Ontario is a 50-acre propulsion test range with one engine test cell and two more under construction this summer.

The first flight units for Hadfield-150 components are in production.

Rocket Factory 1 is 10 times larger than NordSpace’s previous headquarters.

NordSpace expects to reattempt launching its Taiga test rocket later this year.

Rocket Factory 2 will be dedicated to the development and production of Tempest, NordSpace’s reusable medium-lift orbital launch vehicle.

NordSpace said Rocket Factory 1 follows a previously announced $8 million Canadian consortium led by NordSpace.

Tempest was previously called Titan and refers to a launcher with more than 5,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit.

Rocket Factory 1 is expected to be fully operational over the coming months.

The Government of Canada has approved the Atlantic Spaceport Complex environmentally.

Optera has multiple years of on-orbit heritage, and its payloads are operating today.

Blackfinch Ventures, Foresight Group, the National Security Strategic Investment Fund, and Empirical Ventures participated in Optera’s funding round.

Optera’s sensing approach is designed to support tracking and characterisation of fast-moving objects in challenging lighting conditions across ground-based and on-orbit operations.

Future Planet Capital manages the UK Innovation and Science Seed Fund.

Optera develops dual-use sensing technology for civil and space programmes.

Optera’s event-based sensing approach is designed to reduce data and power requirements compared with traditional frame-based cameras.

The Optera funding round was led by the UK Innovation and Science Seed Fund (UKI2S), which is managed by Future Planet Capital.

Blackfinch Ventures, Foresight Group, the National Security Strategic Investment Fund (NSSIF), and Empirical Ventures participated in Optera’s £3m funding round.

Optera says its event-based sensing approach reduces data and power requirements compared with traditional frame-based cameras.
