Gilmour Space Delays Launch of Australia's First Orbital Rocket

Gilmour Space Delays Launch of Australia's First Orbital Rocket

Unfavorable weather conditions postpone Eris test flight
Gilmour Space Technologies has postponed the test launch of its Eris rocket, Australia's first homegrown orbital-class rocket, due to adverse wind conditions.

The launch, scheduled from the Bowen Orbital Spaceport in North Queensland, will be rescheduled once weather conditions improve and regulatory approvals are secured.

The delay marks another setback in the company's efforts to establish a domestic space launch capability.
