Goel is the CEO of NordSpace as well as the genetics company Genepika.[3]
The company announced their Supersonic and Hypersonic Applications Research Platform (SHARP) program in March 2025, unveiling three new products: the SHARP Arrow, an unmanned aircraft designed to perform research, reconnaissance, and interceptions; the SHARP Sabre, a modified version of the Taiga rocket designed to reach hypersonic speeds; and the M2S-HyRock, a 3D-printed rocket engine.[4]
In August 2025, the company broke ground on construction of a launch complex called the Atlantic Spaceport Complex in Newfoundland and Labrador.[5] The company held its first launch attempt of the Taiga rocket in August 2025,[6] powered by the company's 3D-printed Hadfield Mk III engine.[7]
