German aerospace company Isar Aerospace signed a 10-year deal to build a dedicated launch complex in Nova Scotia, positioning Canada to achieve sovereign space launch capability by 2028 with up to 40 orbital launches annually by 2029.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

New orbital launch capacity in North America removes a critical bottleneck for satellite and space startups; $183M Canadian government commitment + $100M Isar investment signals sustained demand and reduces launch cost/availability friction for founders building space-dependent applications.
