@ibelings @aholtzma Pity I can’t say the same about my attempt at a yagi on a sheet of MDF….

After a successful lift-off during the test launch on May 3, 2024, the SR75 rocket has been successfully recovered. Post-flight, the suborbital rocket descended via parachute and landed with only minimal damage. The payload was fully recovered.

[Stuart McAndrew @ssshocker]

Well done @SouthernLaunch and @HyImpulseTech !

[9News Adelaide @9NewsAdel]

We have lift off! 🚀

One of the largest commercially launched rockets in Australian history has successfully lifted off from the Southern Launch site, north west of Ceduna.

The German-built craft has been designed to test alternative, greener, rocket fuels.

A gorgeous image of Australia from the IM-1 mission, which is heading to the Moon!

[Intuitive Machines @Int_Machines]

Intuitive Machines successfully transmitted its first IM-1 mission images to Earth on February 16, 2024. The images were captured shortly after separation from @SpaceX's second stage on Intuitive Machines’ first journey to the Moon under @NASA's CLPS initiative.

We are very sad to announce that Delfi-PQ has re-entered in the atmosphere. On January 13th, it would have been 2 years in orbit but it gladly operated till the end!
