Investor Alert: Ground Floor Profit Opportunity in the Massive $1.1 Trillion Space Boom
In the midst of an explosion in demand for satellite launch capability, Maritime Launch (NEO: MAXQ); (OTCQB: MAXQF) stands poised to offer the only commercial launch site in North America
8 Reasons Why Maritime Launch (NEO: MAXQ); (OTCQB: MAXQF) Appears Primed to Offer
Extraordinary Growth Potential
Massive Market Potential: The total global space economy is now estimated at $469 billion per year – up over 60% from just a decade ago. And it’s growing at a staggering pace, with Bank of America projecting it to be worth $1.1 trillion by 2030.ii
Insatiable Demand for LEO Satellite Constellations: New and established firms are transitioning to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations to facilitate communications and data. Companies including Amazon, Boeing, SpaceX, OneWeb, Telesat, Porsche and Hughes are building LEO constellations requiring thousands of satellites…each of which will need to be launched into orbit and replaced every 3 to 5 years.
Maritime Launch is the Only Game in Town: At a time when the space industry is suffering from a shortage of launch capacity, Maritime Launch’s Spaceport Nova Scotia is Canada’s first commercial spaceport and the only commercial launch site in North America. With the explosion in demand for communication and data satellites, Maritime Launch offers the superior alternative in North America to government-controlled launch sites.
Spaceport Nova Scotia’s location provides the sweet spot for satellite customers to place their technology into orbits where and when they need them. Off the northeastern tip of North America, the launch directions cover the entire swath of the Atlantic Ocean from South America to Africa.
Medium Class Launch Vehicle is Proven, Primed and Ready for the Constellation Market: Maritime Launch’s medium class launch vehicle is optimized for the LEO constellation market with a 5000 kg capacity, 4-meter fairing and multiple in-orbit upper stage restart capability. The company’s launch vehicles are designed in conjunction with partners with demonstrated flight heritage and are fully customizable for commercial applications, putting single spacecraft or constellation satellites into low-earth orbit.
Maritime Launch is Attracting Business from Around the World: The company’s spaceport is attracting businesses from around the globe. This includes numerous satellite companies that are signing on to multi-launch term sheets and more than a dozen different launch vehicle developers needing a home to launch from.
Experienced, Proven Leadership: The men and women leading Maritime Launch bring decades of engineering, project management, and business development expertise specific to the aerospace industry, with mission credentials across the government and commercial sectors.
Boldly Moving Forward with the Launch of Spaceport Nova Scotia: Construction is underway on the company’s world-class launch facility, with the first Launchpad poured in March 2023. The company is preparing for its first client launches to place satellites into polar and sun-synchronous orbits by 2024.
Maritime Launch (NEO: MAXQ); (OTCQB: MAXQF) is Delivering the Solution Companies Are Demanding: Reliable, Affordable Space Launch Here in North America
While NASA is making strides in deep space mission planning to the moon and Mars, the low earth orbit market is now commercialized by the private sector.
The “billionaire space flights” of 2021 – where billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos embarked on space flights with private citizens – generated tremendous media attention.
But while companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have captured headlines, the real story of the space boom in 2023 is one of extraordinary profit potential in the private sector.
The global space economy is skyrocketing, and is expected to reach $1.1 trillion per year by 2030.
And the biggest driver of this growth comes from the commercial satellite industry.
The explosion in demand for communications technology – along with Near Earth Imaging and Internet of Things devices – has led to soaring demand for the launch of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites for their networks.
In fact, the launch industry is emerging as the backbone for the tremendous growth in the space economy
But there’s a problem:
Satellite and launch vehicle companies are demanding access to viable spaceports in North America because they need more flexibility to launch their satellites than what government installations are able to offer.
“Launch vehicle providers noted that a combination of growing demand, particularly from satellite constellations, and a bottleneck in launch supply was affecting the market, making it difficult to find launches and driving up prices.”
To help solve this critical issue, Maritime Launch (NEO: MAXQ); (OTCQB: MAXQF) is poised to disrupt the global launch market with the only dedicated planned commercial launch site in North America.
Located in Nova Scotia, Maritime Launch is offering its clients the largest range of launch inclinations on the continent coupled with a technically mature and reliable launch vehicle capable of carrying 5 tons of cargo to low earth orbit.
Widespread Adoption of Technology Means that Space is Powering Our Everyday Life
The technology we use so frequently in our daily lives has become so advanced we often don’t give it a second thought.
But many of our devices – including our smartphones, smart speakers, wireless security systems and “smart homes” – all rely on satellite communications.
The explosion in growth of these technologies, along with continued growth in the sector, has accelerated the growth in the commercial space services sector and hit $464 million in 2022.
But even as the use of satellites becomes more common, very few companies have their own capability or launch sites to get their satellites into space.
This often forces a reliance on government-owned spaceports, which offer limited launch inclinations and increased logistical costs…and which naturally prioritize defense and federal use. This has left a significant Total Addressable Market projected to exceed $4.4 billion over 10 years.
As the global space economy shifts, Maritime Launch’s Spaceport Nova Scotia will be the only commercial launch site of its kind in North America.
This commercial launch site will allow for full control over launch schedules…a wide range of launch inclinations…and launch sites for Polar and Sun Sync Orbits.
In other words…with the only private commercial range in North America, Maritime Launch (NEO: MAXQ); (OTCQB: MAXQF) is poised to offer the most attractive launch option for the thousands of satellites that need to be launched in the years ahead.

“We’re eager to expand our portfolio of launch vehicle partners to carry our Sherpa OTVs to space. Maritime Launch represents an exciting new option as the first vehicle partner to launch from a commercial spaceport in North America,” said Curt Blake, CEO and president of Spaceflight Inc.
Maritime Launch (NEO: MAXQ); (OTCQB: MAXQF) is Moving Quickly to Make North America’s First Commercial Space Port a Reality
Anticipation is building as the astronauts who will helm the first crewed moon mission in 50 years were recently revealed. The astronauts are now set to begin training for the historic Artemis II lunar flyby that is set to take off in November 2024.
The astronauts are NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency.
“I think it’s a really nice reflection of the long partnership between Canada and the United States,” said Chris Hadfield, who joined NASA on three missions to orbit, performed the first spacewalk by a Canadian astronaut and commanded the International Space Station before retiring.[v]
The Artemis II mission will build on Artemis I, an unmanned test mission that sent NASA’s Orion capsule on a 1.4 million-mile voyage to lap the moon that concluded in December. The space agency deemed that mission a success and is still working to review all the data collected.
If all goes to plan, Artemis II will take off around November 2024. The crew members, strapped inside the Orion spacecraft, will launch atop a NASA-developed Space Launch System rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.[vi]
The Artemis II mission is already generating considerable interest and excitement among citizens and the mainstream media. This mission – and the attention it is certain to generate – will remind everyone of the importance of critical space missions.
This increased attention on space exploration is also likely to have a significant positive effect on the commercial space sector. Frequent updates and news bulletins covering the mission will increase overall awareness regarding space missions at a time when the commercial sector is growing at an impressive pace.
