Fort Churchill is an Arctic site on Hudson Bay with a rail link. It is near the point of maximum auroral activity. This combination of circumstances made it ideal for far-north sounding rocket launches. In 1954, the Canadian Army conducted the first series of rocket firings at Fort Churchill. Following a period of inactivity, construction of more elaborate facilities in support of the International Geophysical Year began in 1956. IGY firings began in July 1957. The range was closed again in December 1958 after the IGY program ended. It was reopened again in August 1959 by the US Army as part of its network of sounding rocket stations. This allowed use of the site by other groups over the years. In late 1960 a fire largely destroyed the facilities at Fort Churchill. It was announced that twelve Canadian Black Brant rockets would be launched from NASA's Wallops Station, Virginia in 1961-1962 while the facilities were rebuilt. When the United States decided to end its activities at Churchill by June 1970, the Canadian National Research Council took over operations to support the Canadian Upper Atmosphere Research Program. The Canadian military also found the site useful for characterization of the ionosphere for military communications. By the 1990's the facility was inactive and an attempt was made to privatize it. At an announced cost of $ 300 million, it was said that Akjuit Aerospace would develop 'SpacePort Canada' at the range. This was envisioned as the world’s first international, commercial polar space port, with three launch complexes capable of launching sounding rockets, small orbital launch vehicles, and medium orbital launch vehicles. A Mission Control Centre would control launch operations. A deal was signed in 1996 for Russian Start booster orbital launches to begin in 1998. However the collapse of the space launch market brought an end to those ambitious plans. The site was known to have been used for 3320 launches from 1955 to 1998, reaching up to 979 kilometers altitude. Launch Pads
