On July 29, Australia's Gilmour space first launched the Eris Orbital rocket from Queensland's cosmodrom. It was a historic moment – the first effort to launch such a rocket from Australian territory for more than 50 years.
However, the flight lasted only 14 seconds. Immediately after starting the rocket, she began to deviate aside and soon collapsed to the ground. Despite the failure, the company's group considers the launch of an important step: even a short flight has launched useful data for future tasks.
Gilmour space has existed since 2015 and the dream of turning Australia into a notable player in the space industry. Eris's 25 -meter high theory can bring goods weighing up to 215 kg in orbit. This is her first effort.
Previously, the launch was transferred many times: the first is due to a tornado, then due to a technical problem, when the protective lid of the load suddenly works when starting. Then the weather stopped.
After its debut, Gilmour Space posted on social networks a picture that started and thanked the group. The new launch was in the plans.
