Gilmore Space Technologies (First Launch)

[Startrek]

Gilmore Space Technologies , an Australian private Space company located on the Gold Coast has been given a launch license to launch their Eris 3 stage orbital rocket from the Bowen Space Port in QLD and deploy a small satellite.
Launch date could be sometime mid to late December

Not bad for 2 brothers who put the company together back in 2015

A fully Australian designed and built rocket from Australian resources and being launched from Australian soil.

We need more Goto people like this to advance our Space and Defence industries in Australia to create jobs and advance our science , technology and competitiveness particularly in the Space industry.

They have also signed up with NASA for future projects

Well done guys

James gave a great talk at Star Stuff II (https://pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/image/167797037/original) back in 2018 (guy on the right) in Byron Bay, during the earlier days of Gilmour Space, good to see they have progressed significantly.

We have some amazing places and conditions to launch from or so I've always heard. I've read stories about this in the past, it's good to see all of their hard work has come to fruition.

Wow that is fantastic news , best wishes for the launch. Would be great to go and see this live.

Just a 2 hour drive for me to see the launch, looking forward to that. The only problem is timing, Bowen is not known to be a RV friendly town as far as free camping goes and accommodation is limited.

Just seen a recent and informative News report

Also a presentation at the first Starstuff event. It was really interesting to see the difference between the two, where they were hamstrung the first time around due to the lack of an Aus space agency and we were not signatories to the treaties required for them to launch over a certain altitude, then the second time around which came after the agency was established and things looked much more hopeful.
