The Canadian Arrow sub-orbital vehicle is designed for water splashdown recovery. Due
to this requirement, the launch site must have open water at least 100 ft deep, with a
range footprint of 40 by 30 miles. This size of footprint will accommodate in-flight abort
situations and range safety destruction of the first stage. Any coastal area is a
potential launch site for the Canadian Arrow. Our preference, however, is for
established launch sites that can offer tracking and other vehicle processing services.
Potential sites include areas such as the Churchill Launch Range, in northern Manitoba,
Canada, and the Virginia Space Flight Center, USA.
