Our satellite AIT facility is coming together and it’s sublime! 🤌 ISO5 clean room, in-house vibe testing and TVAC, mission control, etc. Capable of shipping approx a dozen sats per year to start. Our Terra Nova satellite launch next year will be huge. Just getting started! 🇨🇦
Quick update on our plans over the coming weeks on CBC Radio. The pace is wild. Every sub-team is racing in parallel on tech development, approvals, construction, etc. Big thanks to NL govt for pulling all the stops. Every second counts at NordSpace 🇨🇦🚀 cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

What should we name the first road at SLC-02 of the Atlantic Spaceport Complex? 🤔
