Maritime Launch Services signed a Letter of Intent with South Korea’s INNOSPACE on March 3 to explore hosting the HANBIT launch system at Spaceport Nova Scotia.
Maritime Launch Services entered a Letter of Intent with INNOSPACE to evaluate hosting the HANBIT launch system at Spaceport Nova Scotia.
Maritime Launch Services is developing Spaceport Nova Scotia as a full-service, dual-use responsive spaceport providing licensed site launch infrastructure, range coordination, safety oversight, and scalable multi-pad capability.
Exolaunch will use its EXOpod Nova deployment system to place the payloads into orbit.
After integration at Exolaunch’s Berlin headquarters with satellite developers and Isar Aerospace’s mission management team, the EXOpod Nova loaded with satellites was delivered to Andøya Spaceport for final integration with the Spectrum vehicle.
Maritime Launch Services has launched a couple of suborbital missions from Nova Scotia in recent years.
The $4 million ACOA investment is intended to create 24 skilled jobs across Nova Scotia.
Galaxia Mission Systems was the only space-sector company among nine Nova Scotia firms that together received a combined $4 million from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
Exolaunch used its flight-proven EXOpod Nova deployment system to carry the five customer satellites on the mission.
