SpaceRyde was a Canadian space transportation company that aimed to provide affordable and frequent launch services for small satellites. Their innovative approach involved using a stratospheric balloon to lift their "Ryder" rocket above the majority of the atmosphere before launch, reducing costs. The company also envisioned a network of reusable in-space vehicles for cargo transportation and other tasks. However, SpaceRyde filed for bankruptcy in early 2023, ceasing operations.
