Australia’s domestic space industry is about to make history as ELA launches a series of NASA rockets later this month.
Three scientific suborbital rockets will be sent into outer space from the Arnhem Space Centre in the Northern Territory, 12 degrees south of the equator on the Gulf of Carpentaria.
ELA’s Russell Shaw says the launches are “the first step” for the company as they look to build further. “We’re operating a raft of services that will support the space launch and recovery industry as well as testing and looking to build this up to eventually launch more, have the capability to launch more than 50 rockets a year,” he told Sky News Australia.
