Lisa Campbell visits RDX

When the head of the CSA walks your factory floor, it is more than a courtesy call. It is a clear signal that the work happening here matters to Canada’s future in space.

A Visit That Signals Canada’s Future in Space

Reaction Dynamics was honored to welcome Lisa Campbell, President of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), to our headquarters this month.

At Reaction Dynamics, we have pioneered and patented advances in hybrid rocket technology that unlock a new level of performance and practicality for commercial spaceflight. Our approach combines high efficiency with storable propellants and responsive operations, creating a launch capability that is robust, scalable, and well-suited to the realities of today’s space economy. The same innovations also carry dual-use potential for defense, offering sovereign resilience at a moment when access to space is both strategically vital and technically complex.

CSA’s support has been instrumental in accelerating this progress. Their partnership helps transform promising technology into national capability, strengthening Canada’s position in a rapidly evolving global launch landscape. We are deeply grateful to the Canadian Space Agency | Agence spatiale canadienne for their commitment to advancing Canadian leadership in space and for the support they have provided throughout our journey.

With Aurora‑1 preparing to fly in 2026 and our orbital pathfinder on the horizon for 2028, Canada’s path to sovereign launch is no longer a distant ambition. It is taking shape on the ground, in hardware and flight programs, and in the skilled teams building what comes next. President Campbell’s visit affirms that this work is not simply possible, but that it is happening.

We look forward to sharing more as we move from development to demonstration, and from demonstration to dependable, sovereign launch services. The countdown to a new era of Canadian access to space has begun.
