SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission launched three Canadian satellites from California, including two methane monitoring satellites from GHGSat and the first satellite built by NordSpace. The GHGSat satellites enhance methane leak tracking, while NordSpace's Terra Nova satellite serves as a technology demonstrator for defence and commercial applications.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Space Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The availability of rideshare launches like Transporter-18 lowers access barriers for Canadian satellite builders and methane monitoring firms. You can now consider faster paths to orbit for environmental and defence satellite projects by partnering with providers like SpaceX and Exolaunch.
