About MLS
Building the launch infrastructure Canada has been waiting for.
Maritime Launch Services is developing Spaceport Nova Scotia as a Canadian gateway for commercial, civil, and sovereign missions. The work is practical, regulated, and rooted in Canso.
A dedicated launch complex on Canada's Atlantic coast.
A phased buildout toward repeatable mission operations.
A domestic path for customers who need resilient access.
Operating thesis
From a coastal site to national launch capacity.
The space economy depends on reliable access to orbit. Canada has the talent, customers, research base, and strategic need. MLS is focused on the infrastructure layer that lets those ambitions move from payload readiness to flight.
The story is simple: licensed site, operational pathway, partner ecosystem, and a clear commercial interface for launch customers.
Milestones
A buildout that moves from approvals to repeatable operations.
The temporary route structure should make this progression obvious for customers, candidates, and public stakeholders.
Site and approvals
Advance a licensed launch location with environmental, community, and regulatory requirements at the center.
Infrastructure buildout
Prepare roads, utilities, integration areas, and pad systems for phased readiness.
Commercial operations
Support launch customers through mission planning, range coordination, and campaign execution.
Domestic launch capability for Canadian and allied mission needs.
A practical pathway from mission planning through operations.
Long-term development tied to local trust, safety, and transparency.
