- Quebec Premier François Legault announced on June 9 a $10 million investment in Reaction Dynamics, a Montreal-area startup developing a satellite launch system.

- Reaction Dynamics plans to perform a demonstration flight later in 2025 and begin launching microsatellites under 200 kg to orbit by 2027.
- CEO Bachar Elzein described their hybrid propulsion as simpler, safer, and targeting fast service for commercial and defense satellite operators.
- This funding supports Canada's efforts toward technological sovereignty and reducing reliance on foreign launch providers, with broader implications for defense and industry.
