A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make Spaceport Nova Scotia's June 10th launch such a memorable moment.
Whether you joined us at the launch site, watched from nearby communities, or sent messages of encouragement virtually; you were part of this milestone. 🚀

Jeremy Hansen: "I’m really proud of Maritime Launch, that they’ve had the perseverance and the persistence to get to this point where they’re starting to launch. This is a major contribution for Canada, and something that we can contribute on the world stage going forward. I hope people are proud.”

“This is a major contribution for Canada, and something that we can contribute on the world stage going forward. You know, it’s not done yet, it’s just the beginning, hard fought so far, but I have such great hopes for it in the future. I hope people are proud.” @Astro_Jeremy
Following today’s launch, the team is taking time to review and analyze flight data gathered during the mission.
With only a few days remaining in the current launch window and weather conditions not expected to be as favourable as those we experienced today, we have decided to stand down our planned second launch.
Today’s mission provided valuable operational experience and data for both Maritime Launch and our launch partner, T-Minus Engineering. The lessons learned strengthen our teams, enhance our technology, and further advance our operational readiness 🇨🇦.
We have liftoff! 🚀
If you said 10 years ago we’d launch rockets from rural NS, people would call you crazy. Today, it happened.
Great to join @Astro_Jeremy & partners at Canso Spaceport. This project means sovereign launch capacity, security, & good jobs for NS! 🌌
A historic day for Canada's space industry.
What was once an ambitious vision is now reality. Today's launch demonstrates what can be achieved through perseverance, partnership, and belief in Canada's ability to compete on the global stage.
Congratulations to everyone who helped make this moment possible. The future of Canadian spaceflight is just getting started. 🇨🇦🚀

Today, our team continues preparations on-site alongside T-Minus Engineering, regulators and community partners as we work toward our next launch opportunity.
We are not launching today. Teams remain focused on readiness, safety and mission success as we continue to evaluate conditions throughout the launch window 🇨🇦 🚀
🚀 Update: Our launch window opens today, but after this morning’s review of conditions, the winds are not favourable for launch.
Our team will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day and reassess opportunities tomorrow.
As always, safety comes first. We’ll keep you updated as the week progresses and look forward to the next launch opportunity.
✈️ JUST IN: The X-59 has gone supersonic!
The X-59 achieved supersonic speeds for the first time ever today — a major milestone for NASA’s Quesst mission and an important step toward upcoming flights that will demonstrate its quiet supersonic technology ahead of future community overflights.
Fast now. Quiet soon. 🔊➡️🤫

We have a new look ✨.
Our refreshed brand marks an exciting new chapter for Maritime Launch as we continue building Spaceport Nova Scotia for Canada.
This updated mark reflects the communities, Indigenous partners, governments, customers, investors, and supporters who have helped turn a bold vision into reality.
It also points to where we’re headed: building the infrastructure, capabilities, and partnerships that will make Nova Scotia Canada’s gateway to space.
With construction underway, customers engaged, and preparations advancing toward Canada’s first orbital launch, we’re focused on strengthening Canada’s role in the global space economy. $MAXQ $MAXQF
Go for Launch. 🚀🇨🇦
Our next suborbital launch demonstration is scheduled for June 8-14 from Spaceport Nova Scotia.
Suborbital missions help us refine procedures and accelerate operational readiness while we build the infrastructure to support future orbital launches from Canada.
We're excited to once again partner with T-Minus Engineering as they launch #Barracuda from Spaceport Nova Scotia. $MAXQ.NE $MAXQF 🚀🇨🇦
We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.
Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.
There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.
We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.
@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.
America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸
Oh man 😪 this is hard to see. My heart goes out to all those who have worked so hard on this pad and on the vehicles. Return to flight will be triumphant after such a major hit.
Yesterday, we announced plans to explore future orbital launch opportunities from Spaceport Nova Scotia with @isaraerospace
Today at #CANSEC, we’re continuing discussions around the opportunity to pair Isar's Spectrum 🚀 with Spaceport Nova Scotia’s strategic Atlantic location and access to mid-, high-inclination, and polar orbits. $MAXQ $MAXQF
Partnerships = capability 🇨🇦
A partnership that strengthens launch capability in Canada.
Maritime Launch and @isaraerospace are collaborating to advance sovereign orbital launch readiness from Nova Scotia, helping build the infrastructure and partnerships needed to strengthen Canada’s future in space. $MAXQ $MAXQF
