The Canadian Arrow was a privately funded, Canadian, early-2000s rocket and space tourism project concept founded by London, Ontario, based entrepreneurs Geoff Sheerin, Dan McKibbon and Chris Corke. The project's objective was to take the first civilians into space, on a vertical fully reusable sub-orbital spaceflight reaching an altitude of 112 km. Canadian Arrow was considered one of the top three candidates for the X-Prize competition, along with Scaled Composites (Burt Rutan), and Armadillo Aerospace (John Carmack).2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
