The launch of Australia's first missile into the space was called success, collapsed 14 seconds after implementation. The reality of the Australian debut, although the manufacturer's general manager admitted that he wanted to see a longer flight of the rocket.
Australia's first manufacturing missiles, trying to approach orbit from the country, crashed after 14 seconds flying on Wednesday.
The Eris launch car launched by Gilmour Space Technologies was the first trajectory launcher developed and made in Australia, starting from the country's territory. It is intended to withdraw small satellites into orbit. It was launched on the morning of July 30 from Cosmodrom near the small town of Bowen in northern Queensland.
In the video published by Australian news agencies, it can be considered a 23 -meter missile, flying on the tower starting, hidden in the air and disappearing from vision. Sad smoke increased above the launch location.
The company has successfully launched in a statement published on social networks. The company's representative said that all four hybrid engines were earned, and the first flight included 23 seconds of engine operation and 14 seconds.
Gilmour Space Technologies planned Rocket's previous launch in May and early this month, but canceled them due to technical and bad weather problems.
In his statement, the CEO of Adam Gilmore Company emphasized that he was happy to start the missile: Of course, I want to fly more, but I am satisfied with this.
In February, Gilmore stated that for a private missile company, a company successfully launched in orbit in the first effort was almost unprecedented.
Earlier, the company announced that the launch would be considered successful if the missile was torn out of the ground. Declaring that PAD's infrastructure is still not affected.
The mayor of the local regional council, Witsandi Ralkes Collins, said the launch was a huge achievement, although this device did not reach the trajectory: this is an important first step for the huge leap of the future trade universe industry here, in our region.
Gilmour Space Technologies was sponsored by private investors and this month has received an $ 5 million funding from the Australian government to develop ERIS missiles.
This is the continuation of the financing agreement with the $ 52 million of Australia concluded by the company with the Government by 2023 to promote the development and commercialization of new spatial technologies in Australia.
According to Nasappaceflight's aerospace platform, the country has become the launch of hundreds of times of launch, but so far only two successful trajectory launches have been carried out from Australian territory. Erid's first test flight was the first effort to launch from Australia for more than 50 years.
