Nova Scotia is familiar with launching ships, but never quite like this.

The province could soon be the site of a $110-million rocket spaceport that will be used to launch commercial satellites into space as early as 2020. On Tuesday, Maritime Launch Services confirmed plans to build the facility near Canso and begin construction within one year.

The Halifax-based company, which is a joint venture of three U.S.-based firms, hopes to launch eight rockets annually by 2022. The facility would launch 3,350-kg rockets on a due south trajectory at a cost of $60 million.
