High Times in the Maritimes
The Arbalest Rocketry team of Ontario, Canada’s York University executed a sub-orbital launch at a Canso, Nova Scotia facility currently being constructed by Maritime Launch Services Inc. Upon its completion, the installation will function as Canada’s first commercial spaceport. Originally planned for 05 July, the launch was to have been conducted before an august assemblage of invitees which included local, provincial, and Canadian federal officials, as well as Indigenous leaders and students from the Nova Scotia region. Regrettably, poor weather forced the postponement of the launch attempt until 06 July.
