Listen "Launch and Return Down Under"
Episode Synopsis
Capitalising on numerous advantages – including an expansive landscape and ease of access to desirable orbits – Australia is growing its reputation as a valuable launch and return destination for the international space community. Southern Launch and Gilmour Space are two companies leading the way with support from our Agency. In this episode, we talk with them about their growing offering of commercial launch and return technologies and services on our shores.
Our featured guests for this episode are Amy Featherston (Southern Launch) discussing her company’s operations from South Australia, including a mobile launch rail system and space capsule return collaborations with American company Varda, and Adam Williams (Gilmour Space) discussing his company’s Eris rocket program, with ambitions to launch the first ever Australian-made rocket from Australian soil in Bowen, Queensland.
