The space agency announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with the privately owned spaceport Equatorial Launch Australia to launch three suborbital sounding rockets in June and July from the company's spaceport in the Outback. NASA will use these rockets to conduct astrophysics experiments from a different perspective.
Two of the three rockets will specifically focus on two planets orbiting Alpha Centauri, one of the closest stars to the sun. The third rocket will study X-rays emanating from the clouds of gas and debris that lingers in the space between stars. "We are excited and proud that our Arnhem Space Centre will be the first spaceport in Australia to conduct a commercial space launch," said Michael Jones, ELA executive chairman and group CEO.
