Summary
| Description |
at the old Churchill Rocket Range, now the site of the study centre "The Churchill Research Range (CRR) was established in 1957, the International Geophysical Year, to launch sounding rockets carrying experimental payloads into the upper atmosphere. It was operated by various agencies, launching over 3,500 rockets by the time it was closed in 1985. The Canadian Space Agency operated the range in 1989 for a series of NASA launches. In 1994, Akjuit Aerospace signed a 30 lease with the Manitoba Government for the former CRR and the surrounding area totaling 80 square kilometers. Over the summer of 994, Akjuit restored the Sounding Rocket facilities to operational levels, renaming the site Space Port Canada. Akjuit then proceeded to add launch facilities for much larger rockets. Akjuit ceased to pursue this dream in June of 1998." |
