Southern Cross-1 is active in lunar orbit—the first AusCosmos mission to carry a full four-person crew. It’s also a pathfinder for longer lunar surface operations. Four sets of gloves, one very large checklist. #AusSpace

Wallaby-1 is planned for 8 February 2027: Australia’s first crewed lunar surface landing. The mission will survey geology near the lunar south pole and demonstrate using local resources. A busy itinerary. #AusSpace

Mission planning: surface EVAs like this core-sampling traverse are being rehearsed for Uluru Prime, our Mars surface mission targeting 2029. Concept frame from the planning team. https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace #Mars

Dingo Sat Constellation Phase 1 is complete: 42 Ku-band satellites deployed into a 550 km circular orbit. One launch can look brief from the ground. The useful part is what stays overhead afterwards. #AusSpace

Boab-SR has 31 flights in the log and remains operational. That number is more than a tally: it represents repeated preparation, launch, recovery and review. Reliable spaceflight is built the unglamorous way—one flight at a time. #AusSpace

Whadjuk Launch Complex construction is 68% complete, with pad systems the current phase. The latest milestone was a passed deluge wet test, as of 1 August. Useful progress is measurable. #AusSpace

Countdown check: Wallaby-1 flies in 154 days from Arnhem Space Centre. Destination: Lunar Surface. Track every milestone: https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace

Ayers Deep is active in Mars Transfer Orbit: Australia’s first Mars mission, with an uncrewed scientific lander headed for the Hellas Basin to search for subsurface water and biosignatures. A tidy scientific shopping list. #AusSpace #Mars

Kookaburra Station-1 completed its job in Low Earth Orbit: delivering the first module of Australia’s orbital platform. A pressurised research habitat is not the flashiest payload, but it gives future work somewhere to happen. #AusSpace

Twelve flights in the log for Woomera-1, which remains operational. That’s a fair bit of launch-day experience—and twelve rounds of checks, reviews and lessons learned. #AusSpace

Achievement unlocked, and it stays unlocked: Emu-1 (Low Earth Orbit) — mission complete, all objectives met. https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace

Woomera-Heavy has four flights in its log and remains operational. Heavy vehicles earn their reputation one flight at a time: preparation, checks, launch, review, repeat. Not glamorous, perhaps—but spaceflight rarely is. #AusSpace

AusCosmos was founded in Adelaide in 2014. Twelve years on, the work spans launch sites, vehicles and missions—from South Australia outward. A long way from a blank page. #AusSpace

At Whadjuk Launch Complex, the deluge wet test has passed—the latest milestone in pad systems work, as of 1 August. Water on a launch pad is less glamorous than fire, but very useful when the time comes. #AusSpace

Design study: the Base One grow module. Fresh greens under LEDs will be on the menu when Uluru Prime reaches Mars — the horticulture team is prototyping the racks on Earth right now. https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace #Mars

Uluru-X has reached 70% of integrated testing. The latest milestone: avionics powered up on the flight stage, as of 30 July. It’s still in development, but getting the systems talking is a useful step before any future flight. #AusSpace

Southern Cross-1 is active in lunar orbit. It was Australia’s second crewed lunar orbital mission—and the first to carry a full four-person crew. More people means more capability, and more checklists. #AusSpace

Inside the integration hall: stage mate and payload fairing checks under way. Every vehicle spends weeks here before it ever sees a pad. https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace

156 days to go. Wallaby-1 is deep in launch prep from Arnhem Space Centre — next stop, Lunar Surface. Countdown lives here: https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace

Dingo Sat Constellation Phase 1 deployed 42 Ku-band satellites into a 550 km circular orbit. One mission, a lot of hardware—and a useful reminder that a constellation has to start somewhere. #AusSpace
