Quebec’s government announced an award of $10 million Canadian dollars ($7.3 million) to Canadian rocket startup Reaction Dynamics and software developer Maya HTT.
The funding will enable Reaction Dynamic to continue working with Canadian software and engineering services firm Maya HTT to qualify the hybrid propulsion system and establish a testing facility.
Reaction Dynamics, founded in 2017, is developing the Aurora rocket to send satellites with a mass of 200 kilograms or less to low-Earth orbit. The first suborbital launch is expected in late 2025, followed by orbital flights in 2027 or 2028.
Quebec made this investment with commercial, civil and defense applications in mind. Legault alluded to the geopolitical instability that is prompting nations to seek sovereign space systems.
Canada can into space?

Canada can into space?
Canada HAS into space. Now we will again, which is a sad state of international affairs.

Canada HAS into space.
True, but only with help. All our astronauts have flown on either U.S. or Russian launch vehicles. Heck, we haven’t even had an orbital launch from Canadian soil.

If Legault has touched it, I KNOW it will fail. He’s like a shit Midas. Everything he touches turns to shit.

Canadian soil isn’t exactly great place to launch a spacecraft from

Canada is a good candidate for orbital launches, but those require more fuel per kg of payload.

Maybe not for low inclination orbits (GEO/GTO), but for polar orbits, it would be better than Florida or California.
