Isar Aerospace has signed a 10-year contract with Maritime Launch Services to build a dedicated launch complex for its Spectrum rocket at Spaceport Nova Scotia, marking its second launch base after Andøya in Norway. Construction begins in 2026, with first orbital launches targeted for 2028 and up to 40 annual launches by 2029. The US$112.5 million deal enables sovereign space access for Germany and Canada, reducing European dependence on US providers. The agreement includes options for two 5-year extensions and per-launch cost-plus fees, though finalization of the statement of work by 1 September 2026 remains conditional. Spectrum is not yet serially certified, with only one test flight completed as of July 2026.
