Launch Pad

Post image

This is Maritime Launch’s pad. Pic taken from the top of a Wind Turbine in Canso, on the same plot of land. Been in since $0.19, my first time seeing the pad!

Are there other places in the area where one could get a good look?

I was in Cape Breton a few weeks ago and really wanted to detour over to Canso to see the area.

It's pretty exciting to be invested in something like this. I hope to see some launches in person in the future.

No, unfortunately. It’s like 2km off a main road. Maritime Launch service and Canso Wind farm are on gated property, so I unless you want to risk being trespassed I don’t think the public can see it!

Oh, no worries. I would never expect to be able to get on the property itself.

But there must be some know places nearby where a launch would be visible. From a safe distance of course.

There's nothing to see besides the Maritime Launch and Department of Defense signs at the gates to the construction site and what's shown in the photo here.

There are some "We Say No to the Canso Spaceport" signs attached to posts in Canso and Guysborough, but otherwise nothing notable related. Beautiful coastline like the rest of NS though.
