S3 had announced plans to offer zero-gravity commercial flights on an Airbus A340-300 from North Bay's Jack Garland Airport, launch mini-satellites from a shuttle carried on the back of an airplane.
The company which had a partnership with Canadore College, was declared bankrupt by a Swiss court in December.
