About

Maritime Launch Services (MLS) is building and operating Spaceport Nova Scotia near Canso to provide commercial orbital launch capability from Canada. The site is licensed to host vehicles delivering up to ~5,000 kg and offers a range of launch azimuths over open ocean. After ending plans to fly Ukraine’s Cyclone-4M, MLS pivoted to domestic partnerships; in August 2025 it announced a pathfinder agreement with Reaction Dynamics (RDX) to fly the Aurora-8 from a dedicated pad, a milestone toward sovereign Canadian access to orbit.
