This partnership underscores the growing collaboration between Canada and the United States under the recently announced Technology Safeguard Agreement (TSA) on August 2, 2024. The TSA enables cross-border cooperation in space technology, allowing U.S. launch vehicles and satellites to be launched from Canada and facilitating the development of specialized support equipment.
Voyager's Exploration Segment will offer engineering, design, and fabrication expertise to Maritime Launch, drawing on more than sixty years of aerospace and defense technology experience. Voyager's role includes engineering design and development, as well as the construction of specific launch site components. The company will also collaborate with Maritime Launch to assess client requirements and incorporate them into the site's layout.
This partnership highlights Voyager's proven capability in designing and fabricating spaceport facilities and launch support systems for various U.S. launch clients and sites.
Jeffrey Manber, President of International and Space Stations at Voyager Space, expressed his excitement about the partnership: "Canada is a long-standing partner of Voyager Space, and we are thrilled to support Maritime Launch Services as they build a world-class spaceport in Nova Scotia. Our team's extensive experience in building customer-focused commercial space systems positions us to deliver exceptional value to Maritime Launch."
The collaboration between Voyager and Maritime Launch Services is anticipated to accelerate the development of Canada's first commercial spaceport, Spaceport Nova Scotia, bolstering Canada's position in the competitive global space industry.
Stephen Matier, President and CEO of Maritime Launch, remarked, "Selecting Voyager Space as our first Owner Authorized Representative will ensure Spaceport Nova Scotia is well-positioned to meet the design and development needs of our launch clients. Voyager's vast experience and dedication to excellence make their team ideal partners for this project. The Technology Safeguard Agreement between Canada and the United States has been instrumental in allowing us to access the best expertise available, ensuring the success of this pioneering initiative."
