planetspace does have an advantage over other budding space tourism companies, however, in that they have signed a joint information sharing agreement with nasa. under the agreement, nasa will share information to help the canadian arrow transport passengers and cargo into low earth orbit .
a new, canadian commercial spacecraft prototype could launch as soon as next year, a former contender for the ansari x prize hopes .

( 4) line indoctrination training (refers to paragraph 705. 106 (1) (d) of the canadian aviation regulations )
the avro arrow was initiated by a postwar liberal government and was to have been canada’s main contribution to norad, the joint air defense alliance with the united states. powered by two jet engines of a new canadian design, the arrow was supposed to swoop up to canada’s arctic at nearly twice the speed of sound and shoot down soviet bombers making their way to north america with nuclear payloads .
this rare photo of an arrow test model about to be launched is from the book the avro arrow by lawrence miller (james lorimer and co. , ltd. , publishers - toronto). it is hoped at least one the nine test models can found, recovered and put on display nearly 60 years after they were used to “kick start” the most ambitious experimentation in canadian aviation history .
the team we' ve got is an extraordinary group of people ,
said canadian arrow team leader geoff sheerin in an interview with space. com .
we were actually looking for people who were a lot like (nasa' s) mercury seven .
sheerin said his group is now about $ 2 million in funding away from putting canadian arrow on the launch pad. the group has spent about $ 5 million from sponsors and volunteers - - including man - hours - - to develop their vehicle, he added .
“our team has spent five years researching, designing and building toward the test we performed tonight, ” said canadian arrow team leader geoff sheerin. “we had a perfect ignition and good clean burn. there were a lot of smiles here, that’s for sure. ”
“we feel they are important pieces of canadian history, ” explained expedition leader john burzynski. “the actual planes have all been destroyed except for a few bits and pieces, so we’re bookending the story of the arrow by finding these last pieces of the plane. ”
the reasons for the cancellation of the arrow were a mix of politics, timing, and bad luck. the cf - 105 (as the arrow was officially known) was originally designed as a long - range interceptor, meant to meet and destroy soviet bombers .
production of the first arrow, called rl201, was started in 1956, with an anticipated first flight by the end of 1957 .
the technological advances made during the arrow' s development thus continue to live on, in aircraft design and development around the world .
many other canadians born long after blowtorches were used to cut up the planes also know the story and lament what could have been, stoking the idea, sometimes verging on conspiracy theory, that the arrow’s cancellation is an example of the united states thwarting a canadian ambition .
sheerin said his group is now about $ 2 million in funding away from putting canadian arrow on the launch pad. the group has spent about $ 5 million from sponsors and volunteers — including the value of worker - hours — to develop their vehicle, he added .
the maintenance manager shall be qualified in accordance with section 706. 03 of the canadian aviation regulations, person responsible for maintenance control system .
( a) the company operations manual shall show how compliance with section 602. 61 of the canadian aviation regulations is to be achieved ;
( 6) use of a person not qualified in accordance with the canadian aviation regulations to act as pilot - in - command or second - in - command (refers to subparagraph 705. 106 (3) (b) (ii) of the canadian aviation regulations )
“we are very pleased to have the strong support of the rcaf in the search and recovery efforts for these historic canadian artifacts, ” said john burzynski, oex recovery group expedition leader. “the arrow was a canadian high technological accomplishment and just a beautiful aircraft. the models are some of the last surviving reminders of that development program, and we’re hoping to find these lost family members and bring them home. ”
canadian arrow was a privately developed sub - orbital vehicle which was based on the world war 2 v - 2 rocket design. the vehicle had been updated using technology of the 2000s and data from over 3, 000 previous flights of the early v - 2 type rockets .
this was the first time the arrow would be unveiled to the public, and the first time many employees would see it put together .
zurakowski took off at 9: 51 a. m. on march 25, 1958—almost five months after the arrow' s public debut .
following the cancellation of the arrow program, avro canada laid off almost 14, 000 employees (between avro aircraft and orenda engines) .
a team of london - based divers greeted the arrow’s crew compartment, and prepared it to be towed back to the national yacht club .
the avro arrow fighter jet program was canceled in 1959, after smaller models of the aircrafts were launched into lake ontario from point pelee .

the thunderfish alpha, an autonomous submarine, was lowered into lake ontario last month to hunt for relics of a famed canadian jet fighter program .
nav canada provides air traffic control, flight information, weather briefings, emergency assistance and other services for those who fly in canadian air space .
the standards for operating an aeroplane without fully complying with sections 705. 55 through 705. 61 of the canadian aviation regulations are as follows :
( 1) training requirements (refers to subparagraph 705. 106 (1) (b) (iii) of the canadian aviation regulations )
sheerin said planetspace also would need a launch authorization certificate from transport canada' s launch safety office in order for the canadian arrow tests to proceed .
we' ve started the process
for getting the certificate, but a formal application has not yet been filed, he said .
planetspace' s business plan calls for two passenger seats aboard each piloted flight to be sold for $ 250, 000 each — a fare that includes 14 days of training. sheerin said passengers would spend the bulk of that time at the canadian arrow space center in london, ontario .
oex recovery group, which is spearheading the raise the arrow project, said it started searching near point petre, ont. , in july .

sheerin entered the ansari x prize with plans for a v2 rocket - derived, reusable manned spacecraft dubbed the canadian arrow. arca - short for aeronautics and cosmonautics romanian association - also cast its orizont vehicle in the manned suborbital contest with plans for a reusable rocket engine built from composite materials .
the canadian arrow can be steered by using graphite jet vanes and flaps on the fins that will turn the vehicle in the needed direction. the second stage of the vehicle is where the passengers will be. it is 20 feet long and has four jato rocket engines to add to propulsion .
codes 3 and 6 shall only appear on canadian charts if the ice service specialist cannot confidently determine the stages of the ice in the area observed .
