Adam Gilmour from @GilmourSpace talks about the maiden TestFlight1 launch - the first orbital rocket launched in Australia 🇦🇺 “One of the lessons learned is that it always takes much longer than you think to build a rocket” #IAC2025

🚀 LIVE from #IAC2025! In today’s Late Breaking News session, Adam Gilmour, CEO of @GilmourSpace, shared insights from the journey of launching Australia’s first orbital rocket, from bold ambition to lessons learned along the way. 🇦🇺✨

Back in 1st grade, around 1972, my school's library books promised me jet packs, flying cars, and a moon base by the year 2000. We've seen the first two making a little progress lately, but seriously, where is the moon base? Look, beating China just to plant a flag again is not

Meanwhile, back at the test site… 🔥 To most people, an engine test is fire and Mach diamonds. To rocket engineers, it’s thrust curves, chamber pressures, prop flow, stability metrics - and more data that gets us closer to orbit. 🚀 #ThisIsTheWay

We’re super excited for @IAC2025sydney! If you’re attending this Sept 29 to Oct 3, drop in for a chat with us at the Australia Zone (stand #337). 🚀🛰️🇦🇺

Update: ElaraSat MMS-1, our 100-kg multi-mission satellite platform, is healthy and operational in orbit! 🛰️ ✅ Platform commissioning complete ✅ Satellite bus systems nominal ✅ S-band comms & X-band downlink verified NORAD ID: 64539 🇦🇺 #ElaraSat #MMS1 #SovereignCapability

Still tastes like Australia 👍

On July 30, #BowenOrbitalSpaceport hosted its 1st orbital launch attempt – proving ground systems, pad & safe range ops for #TestFlight1. As Australia’s 1st licensed commercial orbital spaceport, #BOS now offers low-mid-inclination access to global 🛰️ customers. #CountrytoSky🇦🇺

Shoutout to @aussienaut for rolling up and covering our launch live from Bowen. First test flights are full of unknowns, but you showed up, powered through, and let your love of space and rockets do the talking. Till next time! 🇦🇺🚀

Letitia James Today: "This is not about me. It's about all of us. And about a justice system which has been weaponized." REMINDER: Here is Letitia James in the past, promising to weaponize the government to go after DJT when she gets elected. 👇

Hey guys, don’t worry! Our payload is safe.

Liftoff completed, launch tower cleared, stage 1 tested. Awesome result for a first test launch.

TestFlight1 — Liftoff 🚀 Today, Eris became the first #AustralianMade orbital rocket to launch from Australian soil — ~14s of flight, 23s engine burn. Big step for 🇦🇺 launch capability. Team safe, data in hand, eyes on TestFlight 2. (More pics and vids to come from the media.)

TestFlight1 Update: We’re watching the weather and targeting 𝗡𝗘𝗧 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻, 𝟮𝟴 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 (𝗔𝗘𝗦𝗧), 𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 for the start of our new launch window.🚀 Follow us at https://t.co/ff4GGq900K for the latest on #TestFlight1

Funding boost for Gilmour's Eris 🚀 @GilmourSpace received $5m through @ausgov's Industry Growth Program to accelerate the development of its Eris rocket. The maiden launch attempt of Eris is scheduled for Monday, 28 July. Read more https://t.co/yEiy6cYDQT

TestFlight1 update🚀 We’ve scrubbed our July 16 launch window—now targeting the next approved opportunity NET July 27. Why? Ops delayed us a day, and current upper wind forecasts have ruled out a safe launch for the rest of the week. Team will be back for 𝗡𝗘𝗧 𝟮𝟳 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆.

Space is coming to Sydney! 🇦🇺 Gilmour Space is proud to be part of @IAC2025Sydney and Australia’s new space community. 🚀🛰️📡💻👩🏽‍🚀 See you at Down Under, Sept 29–Oct 3. @AusSpaceAgency #IAC2025
