Reach the Space… Now.
The diversity of technological knowledge has evolved immensely in recent years to help overcome the challenges of developing vehicles for space travel and other space activities. Now, at the threshold of economic viability, the commercial exploration of the enticing market around and beyond the Earth’s orbit is generating an actual race that is accelerating technological evolution and opening up unimaginable possibilities.
And that is what motivated us to develop the 2SPACENOW Launch Center, the first private commercial space complex in South America, privileged located at 2° S Latitude.
Situated in the state of Maranhão, northeast of Brazil, at the seaside of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by a sizeable undeveloped buffer zone.
The proposed launch center site has a complete infrastructure capable of supporting ideal conditions for companies that provide commercial space launch services for a nearly free launch range for launching satellites and other spacecraft to a wide range of orbit.
The site implantation definition was carefully studied to maximize our partners' and customers' return on investment (ROI), considering the various technical and geographical factors that directly impact the operations.
You can use launch azimuth angles between 0° and 90° without adding costly propulsive maneuvers (dog legs) to reach the orbital plane. In addition, our equatorial location and vast launch azimuths enable more payloads to orbit from our spaceport..
These launches can fly due east, maximizing the velocity boost from the rotation of the Earth and enabling more payloads to reach orbit.
Our initial strategy is to be New Space Launch Operators friendly supporting all categories: Orbital, Suborbital space tourism, and non-traditional launch to orbit.
Spaceport siting at 2° S latitude. Seaside from the Atlantic Ocean. Undeveloped Buffer Zone.
Our siting can provide launch azimuths angles between 0° and 90°. It can be used without the addition of costly propulsive maneuvers to change the orbital plane.
We intend to support both horizontal and vertical launches, using flexible operational business models to meet the requirements of each project.
We intend to create a complete infrastructure to projects, from preparation to launches, and employees and staff facilities. A full private commercial space center.
2SpaceNow will provide enough controlled access property around the flight preparation and launch site. It is important to prevent endangering life or property and to provide site security.
The project is to have an onsite private airport with a structure for large cargo aircraft, and a dedicated seaport inside the complex area, offering a complete logistics infrastructure for access to inputs that allows space launching companies' operational efficiency.
Approximately 12 miles from State Highway (MA-402), and located within 100 miles to São Luis, capital of Maranhão state, with a consolidated infrastructure.
Launches over the Atlantic Ocean and a large, surrounding free area mitigate any danger to major population centers and provide a nearly free safety range to a broad type of orbits.
No long waiting lines for space launches, in addition to having a single Federal Government entity for regulatory issues.
Commitment to the Technology Safeguards Agreement (TSA) signed by the US and Brazil. Supporting US companies to conduct space launches from Brazil.

This is the nerve center for launch operations. Launch/Mission control, tracking and telemetry, other support functions operate here. At nearly 2-miles from the launch pads, personnel and visitors can safely support and view launches.
Optional traditional vertical launch site infrastructure: Launch pad deck/ramp, Flame deflector/trench, launch service building, Launch mount, Umbilical tower/service structure, Lightning protection system, Propellant systems, Water systems (deluge, sound suppression, fire), High pressure gas systems, Power, lighting, data, communications, Vehicle processing/integration facility or structure, Transporters / Ground support equipment
Initially, three launch pads supporting orbital flights of Small-lift Launch Vehicle, (SLV), and Medium-lift Launch Vehicle, (MLV), with all type of propulsion (solid, liquid, or hybrid).
2SpaceNow provides highly reliable and cost-effective services for on-orbit missions, like telemetry and tracking command (TT&C) and data reception services. Besides that, we have Flight Termination System – FTS, a range safety surveillance radar with auto-ID technology provides a high degree of safety for launch operations.
With two large clean rooms, a 15T crane, and hypergolic fueling capability, our spaceport can safely and efficiently store and process a variety of payloads.
Climate controlled earth-covered bunkers to provide safe storage for solid-fueled rockets as they await their launch schedules.
Integrated sensor data from multiple locations across the spaceport, wind profiler, weather radar data, weather balloons, and satellites can provide the launch team with precise conditions and valuable forecasts, reducing launch delays and ensure mission success.
2SpaceNow's Spaceport has its airport, and administrative team that provides comfort and well-being to its customers. The space complex includes related training facilities, entertainment facilities, themed hotel, restaurants and the like.
Brazilian Federal Government signed a technology safeguards agreement (TSA) with the United States, in March 2019. On November 20, the Brazilian House of Representatives and the Senate ratified the agreement.
The TSA represents a commitment between countries to guarantee the protection of their technologies and patents against unauthorized use or copy, access by countries or unauthorized persons. This commitment is customary among countries that operate space launch centers.
TSA is the required step to get U.S. approval for the launch out of rockets and satellites from Brazil and other countries that use or transport U.S. equipment or systems.
The Horizontal Launch and Landing Sector at 2SPACENOW Launch Center will feature the necessary structures for suborbital launch providers and general aerospace operations.
The Vertical Launch Sector is projected within two square kilometers of total area. To meet our costumer’s requirements, 2SPACENOW is open to develop and evaluate new facilities through leasing or partnership.
2SPACENOW will sell launch operations support and technical support services. The launch pad leasing contracts may be carried out by 2SPACENOW, both with public entities and private companies.
Jointly with the client company, 2SPACENOW will be able to evaluate and negotiate which service packages will be necessary for the launch operation, and that will compose the final set, consisting of operating systems (TT&C), facilities, amenities, equipment, materials, labor, which will be the subject of the contract.
