Southern Launch

We're just one week away from the The Andy Thomas Space Foundation's 19th Australian Space Forum. You can see us at Booth 29 to meet the Southern Launch team and experience the thrill of an immersive rocket launch.

Southern Launch will also be contributing to two key sessions on Day 2 of the Forum:

🚀 Lloyd Damp, CEO of Southern Launch, will share insights into the future of Australia's space sector in the From Launch to Legacy: Downstream Industry Opportunity session.

✨ Amy Featherston, GM of Sales & Marketing, will discuss Southern Launch's role in the Artemis II mission during the Humanities Return to the Moon: Australia's Role in the Artemis Program session.

We look forward to seeing industry colleagues, partners, and space enthusiasts at the Adelaide Convention Centre next Tuesday!

We are thrilled to share that Southern Launch has partnered with SpaceWorks Enterprises to conduct multiple orbital re-entries to the Koonibba Test Range.

This partnership enables SpaceWorks to advance its growing portfolio of atmospheric Re-Entry Devices (RED) and further demonstrates confidence in the Koonibba Test Range as the leading global location for the safe and reliable return of spacecraft and high-value payloads.

We're excited to welcome SpaceWorks down under to further support the global space economy in outback South Australia.

We’re excited to be joining Katherine Bennell Pegg, Australian of the Year and the first Australian trained as an astronaut under the national flag, for an inspiring evening of conversation at the Port Lincoln - Find Your Place in Space event.

Katherine will share her remarkable journey into the space industry, the challenges and achievements along the way, and her vision for the future of Australia’s role in space exploration.

Katherine will join us alongside the Australia Day Council of South Australia, Defence SA and South Australian Space Industry Centre to share how local innovation and industry are helping shape the future of space technology and creating exciting career and business opportunities right here in South Australia.
