Creating jobs: We have lift off, Arnhem Space Centre given tick of approval

The Northern Territory (NT) is a step closer to being part of the trillion dollar international space industry with NASA and Equatorial Launch Australia (ELA) ready to launch their sounding rocket program in 2020 from the Arnhem Space Centre.

ELA is developing a commercial spaceport  in East Arnhem Land, with a sub-orbital rocket launch facility planned for the south west of Nhulunbuy.
