We will have to wait a little longer in order to launch an Australian orbital missile.
The Queensland -based Gilmour Space Company was the seat of its appearance for the first time rocket Today (May 15), but a problem with the car load that calms this plan.
Last night, during the final checks, an unexpected problem sparked strict missile load. He said via x This afternoon.
“We will send an alternative alternative from our Gold Coast factory after a full investigation. This means that we are standing from this experimental campaign for investigation and repair. A new date for Testflight1 will be announced once ready. The second job. Vegemite, for beginners, is the salty brown yeast paste that Australians love to spread on toast.
Gilmour Space Technologies, founded by the brothers Adam and James Gilmour, began the missile program in 2015.
The company was busy over the past decade. For example, Eris developed 82 feet (25 meters), and built a special launch site on the northern Queensland coast, called Bown orbiting spacecraft, with the aim of making Australia more than a space player.
Adam Gilmour, CEO of the company, said in A. A statement in February.

The next test trip will be the first for Eris and Spaceport. This will be historically in another way, as the first take off of an Australian orbital missile.
Complete success is a scarcity of making missiles for the first time, so Gilmour Space puts Testflight1 at a reasonable level.
“Whether we get out of the pillow, access to Max Q or access to space, the important thing is that every second of the trip will provide valuable data that improve the reliability of missiles and our performance in the future.”
