Rocket range operator Southern Launch is putting the finishing touches to Australia’s latest permanent spaceport ahead of its first launch.<\/p>\n

New launch facilities at the Koonibba Test Range north of Ceduna in outback South Australia are almost ready for the launch of German manufacturer HyImpulse\u2019s SR75 rocket.<\/p>\n

The launch will will test HyImpulse\u2019s hybrid propulsion technology which combines paraffin wax and liquid oxygen \u2013 a non-explosive fuel that simplifises rocket handling and logistics.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

Steel company Ferretti International and hydraulic engineers Hydroil manufactured the transportable rocket launcher being used for the test.<\/p>\n

State Deputy Premier and Minister for Defence and Space Industries Susan Close inspected the new facilities, which have been developed since 2017 in a partnership between Southern Launch and the Koonibba Community Aboriginal Corporation. <\/p>\n

It is claimed to be the largest commercial testing range in the Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

Minister Close said: “This marks a pivotal moment for South Australia’s space industry, facilitating the launch of remarkable missions, welcoming space returns and serving as a crucial testing ground for local and global space pioneers to advance their technologies.”<\/p>\n
