Gilmour Space Secures License for Historic Australian-Made Orbital Launch
Australian startup Gilmour Space Technologies has cleared a major hurdle for its first orbital launch after receiving a permit from the Australian Space Agency. This approval sets the stage for the maiden flight of the Eris small launch vehicle, which could take off from the Bowen Orbital Spaceport in northern Queensland as early as December, marking the first attempt by an Australian-made rocket to reach orbit from Australian soil.
