Overview

NordSpace (https : / / nordspace.com) is a Canadian startup with the mission to advance life on Earth, from space.

With divisions of rocket propulsion, autonomous robotics and satellite systems, NordSpace is driven to do everything it takes to bring space closer to Earth and inspire generations of space explorers.
