Spaceport Nova Scotia plans to support up to 40 launches annually by 2029.

Isar Aerospace has signed an agreement with Maritime Launch Services to develop a dedicated launch facility at Spaceport Nova Scotia.

The first launch of an Isar Aerospace Spectrum rocket from Spaceport Nova Scotia is expected in 2028.

Isar Aerospace signed an agreement with Maritime Launch Services, the operator of the Nova Scotia spaceport, to secure access to launch infrastructure and services for future orbital missions.

The operational blueprint for Spaceport Nova Scotia projects initial orbital launches in 2028.

Maritime Launch Services will provide a licensed launch site at Spaceport Nova Scotia with a launch pad, assembly, integration and testing facilities, a launch operations center, and a payload integration facility.

Maritime Launch Services signed a US$112.5 million, 10-year contract with Isar Aerospace to build a dedicated launch complex at Spaceport Nova Scotia.

The Spaceport Nova Scotia development builds on a prior Department of National Defence contract for a dedicated pad lease intended to support civil, commercial, and national security missions.

Maritime Launch Services signed a 10-year facilities usage contract with Isar Aerospace for a dedicated launch complex for Spectrum at Spaceport Nova Scotia.

The Spaceport Nova Scotia site is near Canso, Nova Scotia, and is positioned to support high-inclination and polar launch trajectories over the Atlantic Ocean without downrange landmass restrictions.

The designated launch pad must be handed over to Isar Aerospace by 1 November 2026, and additional infrastructure at Spaceport Nova Scotia must be completed by 31 December 2027.

NASA awarded Intuitive Machines a Nova-C mission worth $148.3 million in new CLPS contracts.

Intuitive Machines is building a new version of the Nova-C lunar lander and is currently performing engine tests.

Intuitive Machines says the Nova-C program will scale manufacturing processes to support higher-volume production.

The NASA contract requires Intuitive Machines to deliver a production-line-qualified Nova-C lander to the Moon no later than 2028.

Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander and Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C lander are part of NASA’s new lunar payload contract set.

Intuitive Machines will deploy a derivative of its Nova lander line for the 2028 CLPS missions.

Sophia Space will integrate its TILE modules, or Thermal Integrated LEO Edge modules, on Apex’s Nova satellite platform.

NordSpace’s Terra Nova satellite is part of its space-systems work.
