Canada's Sovereign
Space Launch Compliance
Platform

CanLaunch automates regulatory compliance for Canadian orbital and suborbital launch operators — NOTAM checks to Transport Canada LSO submission — so your team can focus on the mission, not the paperwork.

Platform Features

Everything you need for launch day

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

🛰️

Automated Regulatory Compliance

Real-time checking against all Transport Canada LSO conditions, CARs Part VI, and CSAA regulations. NOTAM lookups, weather minimums, airspace corridor checks, and range safety — updated every 30 seconds.

📋

Audit-Ready Documentation

Every check generates a timestamped record with exact data source, collection methodology, decision logic, and audit reference. Export a .canlaunch.json compliance package ready for TC LSO submission.

🗺️

Mission Operations Center

Live weather feeds, NOTAM overlays, real-time aircraft corridor monitoring, 2D trajectory visualization, and a T-minus countdown clock — unified in a single mission dashboard.

🚀

Multi-Mission Management

Save and manage multiple missions simultaneously. Each tracks its own vehicle, launch site, orbital parameters, and compliance status. Import or export missions for team collaboration.

⚖️

Regulation Walkthrough

Step-by-step guidance through all 8 compliance categories: airspace, weather, range safety, environmental, comms, telemetry, recovery, and public safety — with exact regulation references and data provenance.

🇨🇦

Built for Canadian Sites

Pre-configured for Maritime Launch Services (Canso), Churchill Rocket Research Range, and 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.

With the Canadian Space Agency Act (2023), Canada established its own sovereign space regulatory framework — separate from the FAA Part 450 regime that underpins US tools. Canadian operators filing under the Transport Canada LSO framework cannot rely on American compliance software designed for different regulations.

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

  • Aligned to CSAA (S.C. 2023, c. 9) and CARs 601 as amended
  • TC LSO Framework 2024 — all licence conditions covered
  • Nav Canada coordination and NOTAM API integration
  • Canadian Forces airspace deconfliction protocols
  • Environment and Climate Change Canada weather standards
  • Impact assessment aligned to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act

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 mission export includes a complete audit trail: regulation references, data sources, decision timestamps, and Go/No-Go rationale — exactly the evidence package that granting agencies and TC assessors need to evaluate your operational readiness.

Workflow

Go from concept to compliant in minutes

01

Select your launch site

Choose from Maritime Launch Services, 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 and submit

Export a .canlaunch.json compliance package with your full audit trail. Use it for TC LSO submission, grant applications, or internal documentation.
