Working with NordSpace allows us to extend that expertise into space, supporting safe and sustainable launch operations from Canadian soil.”
Rahul Goel, CEO and Founder of NordSpace added, “With NordSpace’s bold mission to develop responsive space missions capabilities in Canada, it is incredibly exciting to work with a world-class partner like Kongsberg Geospatial who brings decades of experience developing and operating mission critical geospatial awareness tools proven to provide the real-time insights we will need to launch on a dime.”
