Maritime Launch Services Inc. (Cboe: MAXQ, OTCB: MAXQF) and The
Spaceport Company have inked a Letter of Intent (LOI) to lease a
containerized tracking and telemetry station (TTS) from The
Spaceport Company (TSC) for an inaugural orbital launch from
Canada, with options to purchase multiple units as Maritime Launch
operations ramp up.
“This agreement allows us to provide Maritime Launch customers
alternatives for on-site and downrange support for space launch
operations from Spaceport Nova Scotia,” said Stephen Matier,
President and CEO. “It’s important that our clients receive all
their service needs at the ready, so they can focus on their
satellite client missions.”
The Spaceport Company builds infrastructure to solve the problem
of launch site congestion. Founded in 2022 in Northern Virginia,
TSC now has locations in Florida and Mississippi. The team has over
30 years of combined experience in the space and infrastructure
industries. Leveraging their extensive expertise, The Spaceport
Company has developed an innovative launch tracking system
assembled in a transportable container, enabling swift deployment
of their technology anywhere it is needed to support launch
missions.
Maritime Launch is developing Spaceport Nova Scotia, Canada’s
first commercial spaceport located near Canso, Nova Scotia.
This affordable and flexible launch tracking service will be
offered to Maritime Launch clients as a part of their facility
lease at Spaceport Nova Scotia with planned pickup points not only
at launch, but also through orbital insertion and beyond. Multiple
transportable units may be deployed in multiple locations globally
to provide continued tracking as the launch vehicle follows its
path to orbit.
Maritime Launch plans to offer this mobile tracking service on
its first orbital mission, slated for 2025.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Maritime Launch on
tracking and telemetry stations," stated Tom Marotta, CEO and
Founder, The Spaceport Company. "This Letter of Intent signifies
the beginning of a promising partnership that will contribute to
the advancement of space launch capabilities in Canada."
The LOI between Maritime Launch and The Spaceport Company sets
the stage for further discussions and negotiations towards
finalizing agreements for the lease and eventual purchase of
tracking and telemetry stations.
Both parties are fully committed to working closely together to
realize their mutual objectives of supporting space launch
operations and fostering innovation in the fast-growing global
commercial space sector.
