In Canada, is it legal for citizens to launch a small object into space?
<p>Let's say a citizen is able to launch a rocket or a weather balloon into space with an electronic device (probably a GPS) and a small gnome attached on it, would it be legal? </p>

<p>Does this require to notify government or a particular agency?</p>

<p>Technically these are unmanned (but not ungnomed) drones and the law about them is <a href="https://www.loc.gov/law/help/regulation-of-drones/canada.php" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

<p>If your craft in flight is less than 35kg you do not need permission, however, a craft that small is not going to get to 100km (the boundary of "space"). You therefore need permission ... and insurance in case it falls on anything or anyone breakable.</p>
