About Maritime Launch Services
Maritime Launch Services Inc. operates Spaceport Nova Scotia in Canso, Nova Scotia, Canada. The company describes the spaceport as Canada's first commercial spaceport. Its site says it provides sovereign launch access from the Atlantic coast.
The spaceport offers access to polar and sun-synchronous orbits from one site. The site lists a 98.1 degree sun-synchronous inclination, an 87.9 degree polar inclination, and a 45.1 degree low Earth orbit. The site says the trajectories avoid overflight hazards and head east and south over open ocean.
The company has signed a contract with Isar Aerospace to advance orbital launch capability from Spaceport Nova Scotia. It has also announced a partnership with Galaxia to develop an autonomous flight safety system for the spaceport. A news item dated October 15, 2026 reports conditional approval to list on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The site lists target markets including global communications, earth observation, navigation, emergency response, precision agriculture, and defence and sovereignty. It says the company supports launches from payload integration to orbit, with a regulatory foundation and international partnerships.
The site describes a leadership team with more than 200 years of combined space leadership experience. Stephen Matier is founder, CEO, and director. Robert Feierbach is president of Maritime Launch USA. Dr. Yaroslav Pustovyi is director of safety, and Melissa Quinn is vice president of spaceport operations. The board includes Sasha Jacob as chair.
The contact page lists the phone number 1-800-663-2438 and a contact form for launch, investor, media, community, and career topics. The office is in Canso, Nova Scotia. The site offers a monthly newsletter sign up and an investors section with market data. The site says the team has supported NASA return to flight programs and the safe return of Canadian astronauts from the International Space Station. A newsletter called Dispatch covers mission updates, launch milestones, range activity, and site progress.
