After being tight lipped for a little over two years, I am finally able to share the exciting news of the new Arnhem Space Centre which Australian Rocketry Pty Ltd has been consulting for. This has included numerous trips to the Northern Territory and to Wallops Island to meet with NASA and Orbital ATK with the Sounding Rocket Program.
Some people are aware of new infrastructure that Australian Rocketry has been working on and this is a major piece of the puzzle. There is still a lot happening, so stay tuned for more exciting announcements in the coming months.

Re: Arnhem Space Centre
Awesome news! Australia has so much more potential than just digging up and selling off ship loads of rocks, and this certainly sounds like a step in the right direction.

Re: Arnhem Space Centre
That's great news Blake. Glad to see some local involvement in the setup too. You must be pretty pleased about that

Somebody recently posted this video about Wallops, from back in the 60's, on TRF.
