NordSpace Corp. is pleased to announce that it is receiving advisory services and up to $335,000 in funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to support a research and development project that will advance its large format multi-material additive manufacturing capabilities for medium-lift rocket engines. This project will involve a major Canada-Germany R&D collaboration between NordSpace, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology, and SWMS (Systemtechnik Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH). This milestone builds upon NordSpace’s recent launch of its Advanced Manufacturing for Aerospace Lab (AMA Lab), marking an important step toward NordSpace’s ongoing research and development efforts to advance orbital launch vehicles that are fully scalable from light to medium-lift payload capacities. NordSpace's Tundra and Tundra+ light lift vehicles, capable of 500 kg and 1,100 kg to LEO respectively, are being designed specifically to scale to the medium lift Titan (5,000 kg+ to LEO) by the early 2030s.
