Spaceport Nova Scotia
Operational and strategically positioned on Canada’s Atlantic coast, Spaceport Nova Scotia offers unobstructed and competitive access to a wide range of orbital inclinations (45-98 degrees). Designed for long-term growth, Spaceport Nova Scotia supports orbital and suborbital missions for commercial customers, allied governments, and the next generation of the global space economy.

Why Nova Scotia
Spaceport Nova Scotia sits at a latitude that provides direct, unobstructed access to the polar and sun-synchronous orbits that represent the fastest-growing segment of global launch demand. The launch trajectory points south over the open Atlantic, meaning there is no populated land beneath the flight path for thousands of kilometres.
Critical National Infrastructure
Access to space underpins national security, Arctic sovereignty, allied defence operations, communications resilience, disaster response, environmental monitoring, scientific advancement, and economic growth. Canada is currently the only G7 country without an orbital spaceport. Spaceport Nova Scotia is being developed as dual-use infrastructure supporting both commercial launch activity and sovereign government missions.
Construction is underway
Construction resumed in March, with Phase 1 civil works now nearing completion. The work has expanded the site’s road network, prepared future customer integration and satellite processing areas, and established the foundation for the next stage of development.
The first major building project, the Spaceport Utility Hub, is now entering procurement. The facility will serve as the central distribution point for power, communications, backup systems, water services, and other critical utilities that will support future launch operations and customers across the site.
