NordSpace and C-Core partner to build ground station infrastructure across Canada

The stations support the tracking and control of air systems such as satellites.

Nordspace will work with C-Core to create aerospace communication infrastructure throughout Canada.

Last week, two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a joint engineer regulating planning and business studies for new ground stations throughout the country. Ground stations, sometimes known as earth stations, are equipped with satellite dishes and telemetry equipment for communication, tracking and managing satellites and other air systems.

Based in St. Johns, NL, C-Core is a research and developed company with experience in radar and Development of space equipmentThe field company currently has ground stations In Inuvik, NWT and in the Bay Happy Valley-Gose, NL. The new memorandum of mutual understanding includes the initial planned stations in the complex of the Atlantic spacecraft Inuvik and NordSpace (ASX) in St. Lavrentia, NL, which is located about 350 kilometers from St. John.

Company He broke the earth On ASX, in August of this year, it will be the first in Canada to work commercial space. SpacePort will be presented with initial panels for orbital and suborbital missions, and will also have funds for radar systems, as well as other equipment for hover supports.

While the construction continues, the initial attempts to launch the company in the ASX were relied on on a temporary mobile infrastructure sent from Ontario. For now An erroneous trigger about the ignition safety system in the rocket and Fuel problems Saved the dreams of the company. The new date of launch is expected somewhere in the “coming weeks”.
