Built for CanadaTransport Canada ATL Framework

US compliance software doesn't map to Canadian launch rules.
CanLaunch does.

The only platform purpose-built for Transport Canada's Authorization to Launch process. Walk a Canadian operator from Notice of Intent to a versioned, audit-stamped TC submission package — and run launch day from the same dashboard.

Platform Features

Everything you need for launch day

A purpose-built compliance platform for the Canadian space launch ecosystem.

ATL Submission Package Builder

A guided 12-section workflow covering every document Transport Canada requires for an Authorization to Launch — vehicle, payload, trajectory, safety, environmental, insurance. Auto-saves as you type.

Audit-Stamped PDF Exports

Generate a versioned, server-rendered TC submission PDF with a SHA-256 hash printed on every page. Each export is logged immutably so you can prove exactly what you sent. JSON export is also available for internal records.

Launch-Day Mission Operations

Live weather, NOTAM overlays, ADS-B aircraft corridor monitoring, 2D trajectory visualisation, satellite orbit overlay, and a T-minus countdown — unified on a single dashboard with role-aware filtering for each station.

Multi-Mission Management

Run several missions in parallel. Each tracks its own vehicle, launch site, orbital parameters, application progress, and export audit log. Switch context cleanly without state collisions.

Regulation Walkthrough

Step-by-step coverage of 8 compliance categories — airspace, weather, range safety, environmental, comms, telemetry, recovery, public safety — with exact regulation references and data provenance for every check.

Built for Canadian Sites

Pre-configured for Canso Spaceport (Maritime Launch Services), Atlantic Spaceport Complex (NordSpace), Churchill Rocket Research Range, and the proposed Spaceport Québec — with site-appropriate azimuth constraints, safety zones, and licence conditions.

Canadian Space Sovereignty

Canada is building a launch capability. Its operators need sovereign tools.

The Canadian Space Agency Act (2023) established Canada's own space regulatory framework — separate from the FAA Part 450 regime that underpins US compliance software. Operators filing under the Transport Canada Authorization to Launch process can't rely on American tools designed against different rules.

CanLaunch is purpose-built for the Canadian regulatory stack. Every check references the exact TC ATL condition, CSAA section, or CAR clause — not an approximation mapped from a foreign framework.

  • Aligned to CSAA (S.C. 2023, c. 9) and CARs Part VI Subpart 1
  • TC Authorization to Launch — every required document section covered
  • Nav Canada coordination and NOTAM workflow
  • Canadian Forces airspace deconfliction protocols
  • Environment and Climate Change Canada weather standards
  • Impact assessment aligned to the Impact Assessment Act, 2019

Canadian Funding Landscape

Unlock Canadian space funding

Compliance documentation generated by CanLaunch directly supports grant applications. Regulatory readiness is a key evaluation criterion across all federal programs.

CSA — Space Exploration DevelopmentFederal
Up to $10M

Canadian Space Agency funding for space technology development, demonstration, and flight qualification. Compliance readiness is evaluated in the technical assessment.

NRC-IRAPNRC
$50K – $10M

Industrial Research Assistance Program accelerates commercialization of Canadian innovations including launch vehicle and space operations technology. Audit-ready systems strengthen applications.

SR&ED Tax CreditsCRA
15 – 35% credit

Scientific Research and Experimental Development ITC applies to qualifying R&D including novel regulatory compliance methodology, automated safety systems, and trajectory analysis software.

ISED Strategic Innovation FundISED
Up to $100M

Supports large-scale investments in Canadian space infrastructure. Operators with demonstrated regulatory compliance and operational readiness receive favourable consideration.

BDC — Deep Tech VentureBDC
$500K – $5M

Business Development Bank financing for Canadian deep-tech ventures. Regulatory compliance frameworks demonstrate the operational maturity required for financing approval.

Provincial Space ProgramsProvincial
Varies

Nova Scotia, Manitoba, and Québec each offer targeted programs for launch-related businesses at their respective spaceport locations — typically requiring TC licence compliance documentation.

Compliance documentation = funding evidence

Every CanLaunch export includes a complete audit trail: regulation references, data sources, decision timestamps, and Go/No-Go rationale — the evidence package that granting agencies and TC assessors expect when evaluating operational readiness.

Workflow

Go from concept to compliant in minutes

01

Select your launch site

Choose from Canso Spaceport, NordSpace ASX, Churchill, or Spaceport Québec — or enter custom coordinates. Orbital parameters, azimuth constraints, and safety zone defaults load automatically.

02

Configure your vehicle & payload

Select from Aurora, Boreas, Haas 2CA, Electron, RS1, or define a custom vehicle. Mass, apogee, GLOW, and staging parameters propagate to all downstream compliance checks.

03

Walk through pre-flight compliance

CanLaunch steps you through 8 regulatory categories with 22+ automated checks. Each result shows the exact data source, TC regulation reference, and audit record — no black boxes.

04

Monitor launch day

The mission dashboard gives you live weather, NOTAM status, aircraft corridor monitoring, trajectory visualization, and a T-minus countdown — all updating in real time.

05

Export your submission package

Generate a versioned, audit-stamped PDF (and matching .canlaunch.json) of your full application. Email it directly to TC-CSL, attach it to a grant application, or archive it as your internal record. CanLaunch does not submit on your behalf — you stay in control.
