Maritime Launch Names Melissa Quinn Vice President of Spaceport Operations to Drive Orbital Launch Readiness at Spaceport Nova Scotia

Maritime Launch Services Inc. has appointed Melissa Quinn as its new Vice President of Spaceport Operations as the company accelerates efforts toward Canada’s first orbital launches from Spaceport Nova Scotia. Quinn, seconded from strategic partner MDA Space, brings over a decade of global spaceport and commercial space leadership experience to the role, where she will build the spaceport operations team and lead readiness activities as the facility moves from development into full operational capability with an emphasis on safety, licensing, sustainability, and community engagement. Prior to this role, Quinn served as Head of Spaceport at Spaceport Cornwall in the United Kingdom, where she played a key role in delivering facilities and operations that enabled the UK’s first licensed orbital launch attempt, including securing the nation’s first spaceport license. Her expertise in regulatory coordination, sustainability planning, and stakeholder engagement is expected to be invaluable as Spaceport Nova Scotia prepares for historic missions. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} Based in Nova Scotia, Quinn will work closely with local communities, regulators, and partners, helping position Spaceport Nova Scotia as a world-class launch site that supports both commercial and government space missions, strengthens Canada’s sovereign launch capability, and contributes to local economic development. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} #SpaceportNovaScotia #MaritimeLaunch #MelissaQuinn #CanadaSpaceIndustry #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
