[Maritime Launch @maritimelaunch]

As Spaceport Nova Scotia continues to take shape, so does the infrastructure that will support missions operating from it.

One example is the new @leaf_space ground station, which adds critical communications infrastructure to the growing spaceport. Ground stations like this help connect spacecraft with the teams and systems supporting them here on Earth.

A spaceport is an entire ecosystem of roads, utilities, communications, tracking, facilities, operations and people working together to make launches possible. 🚀
