Project Timelines
As a project, Space Centre Australia is as exciting as it is ambitious. We have commenced the initial stages of development, with the following achievements expected in the next 18-months.



Space Centre Australia is located 43km from the township of Weipa in Northern Queensland, Australia.
When it comes to launch operations, there are several factors that contribute to location suitability.
For this reason, Space Centre Australia is situated away from competing air corridors in a no-population-density area, therefore promoting public safety, while allowing clear access to a range of orbital positions.
Since we are stationed in a safe and secure location, our facilities will provide close access to a variety of launch destinations.
The location

SPACE VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT
Space Centre Australia will offer an environment uniquely configured for space vehicle development.
Notably, we will offer a certified static clean room for payload development and integration at Initial Operating Capability (IOC)
Correspondingly, modular launch vehicle development will be supported by specialized, heavy-handling systems, and staging platforms.
Space Centre Australia will feature services providing assurance of completed launch vehicles prior to staging and launch zones.

Space LAUNCH OPERATIONS
Due to every launch operation being unique, Space Centre Australia tailors our approach to each project’s needs.
Risk reduction is essential to maintaining the safety and affordability of launch operations, and to this end, Space Centre Australia offer speciality knowledge in the areas of licencing, regulation requirements, and insurances.
Integration of launch systems into Space Centre Australia’s mission system allows for precise analyses of each launch activity.
In order to successfully support tenancies of varying durations, we specialise in end-to-end solutions for long-term occupancies, sustaining projects from inception to launch, and beyond.
On the other hand, we also offer secure handoff capabilities for projects spread over multiple operations centres.

Space MISSION OPERATIONS
Mission Control is at the heart of every launch operation.
As a result of this, Space Centre Australia features an advanced Mission Control Operations facility for projects which require wholistic solutions.
With a multi-tenanted secure room, the facility accordingly allows for simultaneous, isolated mission operations.
Space Centre Australia will be completely scalable to provide capacity for both short- and long-term tenancies.
Capabilities include space vehicle development, testing, certification, launches, and mission control.
For those who require security regarding mission handoff, Space Centre Australia features a secure operations centre, secure datacentre, and a broadband satellite communications station.
