Equatorial Launch Australia Chief Executive Michael Jones has commented on the Arnhem Space Centre facilitating launches for a range of space organisations worldwide, including NASA.
Australia is fast becoming Asia’s launch site of choice, with a rocket company teaming up with Australia with plans to launch from the Arnhem Space Centre.
“The [partnership] we’ve just announced is with a Singaporean-based company who has an aim very similar, but is not actually connected to us, which is equatorial space services,” Mr Jones told Sky News Australia.
“[They] have a range of small rockets that they want to launch and test from our site, and that is on their pathway to developing an orbital rocket, which their intention is to launch from our site again in the future.
Arnhem Space Centre: The site of Australia’s ‘first commercial space launch’
“In 2022, we were selected by NASA to do the only commercial space launch that they’ve done from a commercial spaceport – it was also Australia’s first commercial space launch.”
