We’re thrilled to announce that the launch of Australia’s first-ever commercial space capable rocket was successful! On Saturday morning Southern Launch launched not one, but two rockets at the Koonibba Test Site. This is an extremely exciting achievement for Australia and South Australia in particular.

WGA designed the launcher and supporting pad footing and was responsible for the project management of the manufacturing services. It’s been great to continue to grow our capability in this sector and we can’t wait to see the space industry in SA take off. 

We’re proud to have been involved in this historic project and look forward to continuing our involvement in Australia’s space industry
