WE HAVE LIFT OFF!
HyImpulse successfully launched their SR75 rocket from Southern Launch’s Koonibba Test Range in a milestone achievement for commercial launch capabilities in Australia.
The SR75 rocket, which reached an altitude of 50km above Earth, is one of the largest commercially launched rockets in Australian history.
A crowd of locals and VIPs who travelled to Koonibba from across Australia and Europe were on hand to witness the historic achievement on South Australia’s Far West Coast.
Southern Launch CEO Lloyd Damp says, ‘We are incredibly proud to have been a part of this historic mission. The Koonibba Test Range is world-class and hosting this mission has demonstrated the outstanding expertise and experience of the Southern Launch team.’
