What We Do:
Launch Canada is a national non-profit organization dedicated to advancing rocketry and aerospace innovation through hands-on learning. We host Canada's largest student rocketry challenge, providing post-secondary teams the opportunity to design, build, and launch high-powered rockets. Our mission is to inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists, and innovators by giving students real-world experience in design, manufacturing, testing, and teamwork, all while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in Canadian aerospace.
WHO WE ARE:
We’re a passionate, grassroots community made up of people just like you! Engineers, students, professionals, and dreamers who believe in advancing space and rocketry in Canada.
Some of us work full-time and volunteer when we can. Others are students earning their degrees while helping build the future. A few are retired experts who want to give back. Together, we share a common goal: to support the next generation of aerospace talent and help launch Canada’s role in the global space community.
Whether you're here for the tech, the teamwork, or the thrill of launch day, you belong.
