The satellite business is booming, but the launch capacity can't keep up. As the demand for space access grows, companies are struggling to find a ride to orbit. This bottleneck has led to major setbacks for big space companies and is forcing countries to look inward for their own space infrastructure. Canada is no exception, with the country pushing to build domestic capacity and reduce its reliance on the U.S. for launch capabilities. The push for sovereign control of critical technologies is creating an opportunity for Canadian companies to capitalize on the growing demand for space access. However, it will take much more funding, transparency, and sustained support for Canada to become a reliable player in the sector. In my opinion, the key to success lies in the country's ability to prepare for the long run and build a strong foundation for its space industry.
