The space agencies of Ukraine and Canada signed a joint statement on partnership and cooperation in the space sector.

“On November 18, in Halifax, the space agencies of Ukraine and Canada signed a joint statement of partnership, and on November 19, celebrations were held to mark the laying of the “first stone” of the launchpad for the Ukrainian and Canadian projects to create a space launch complex,”, the press service of the Ukrainian Embassy in Canada reported.

The project provides for the creation on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia province of a commercial space launch complex for the Cyclone-4M carrier rocket, designed and manufactured by Ukraine’s Pivdenne Design Bureau and Pivdenny Machine Building Plant.

As reported, the space launch market is showing constant growth and will reach USD 1tn in the future. The implementation of the project creates preconditions for long-term Ukrainian-Canadian cooperation in the space sector, loading the production capacities of Ukrainian enterprises.
