On November 18, the space agencies of Ukraine and Canada signed a joint statement of partnership in Halifax Canada.

Both sides laid the first stone of the space launch complex. The collaborative Ukrainian Canadian project to create a space launch complex in Nova Scotia is unique to both countries. The project is implemented by the Canadian company Maritime Launch Services and involves using the Ukrainian rocket carrier “Cyclone 4M”. According to Stephen Mathieu, the President, and CEO of Maritime Launch Services, the space launch market is growing steadily and will increase from $400 bln to $1 tln in the future.
