At Whadjuk Launch Complex in Exmouth, pad systems are 68% complete. The latest milestone: a deluge wet test passed. A very practical sort of progress — when the pad needs water, the water turns up. #AusSpace

Boab Research Flight 47 carried protein crystallisation and plant biology experiments on a completed upper-atmosphere mission. Different altitude, same scientific habit: put a question on board and see what the data says. #AusSpace
Countdown check: Wallaby-1 flies in 124 days from Arnhem Space Centre. Destination: Lunar Surface. Track every milestone: https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace
Founded in Adelaide in 2014, AusCosmos’ current launch footprint includes four facilities: three active and Whadjuk Launch Complex in Exmouth, where construction continues. Space companies are built in more than one sense. #AusSpace
Kookaburra Station-1 completed its Low Earth Orbit mission after delivering the first module of Australia’s Kookaburra orbital platform: a pressurised research habitat. Big platforms start with one carefully delivered piece. #AusSpace
Boab-SR has flown 31 times and remains operational. That kind of flight history gives engineers a sizeable pile of evidence: what held up, what changed and what still deserves a closer look. Rockets are very good at keeping receipts. #AusSpace
Achievement unlocked, and it stays unlocked: Emu-1 (Low Earth Orbit) — mission complete, all objectives met. https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace
Emu-1 was AusCosmos’ inaugural crewed orbital mission. Its seven-day shakedown flight launched on 12 June 2021, putting the Woomera-1 crew vehicle through its first orbital test. Some firsts come with a checklist. #AusSpace
Ayers Deep is active in Mars transfer orbit: AusCosmos’ first Mars mission, an uncrewed scientific lander searching for subsurface water and biosignatures. Mars keeps its secrets well. #AusSpace
From the design studio: a render of Base One — habitats and solar farm as planned for Uluru Prime, our Mars surface mission targeting 2029. https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace #Mars
Southern Cross-1 is active in lunar orbit. Launched on 21 March 2025, it became Australia’s second crewed lunar orbital mission—and the first to carry a full four-person crew. Lunar missions come in more than one shape. #AusSpace
Dingo Sat Constellation Phase 1 is complete: 42 Ku-band satellites deployed into a 550 km circular orbit. The first step in a constellation is less glamorous than the diagram—42 separate objects, each needing a place in the sky. #AusSpace
Woomera-1 has completed 12 flights and remains operational. That’s enough history to spot patterns, not enough to stop asking questions. Flight data has a way of keeping engineers humble. #AusSpace
125 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
Woomera-Heavy has flown four times and remains operational. Four flights won’t answer every question, but they give engineers a useful trail of hardware, data and decisions to examine before the next one. #AusSpace
Uluru-X is 70% through integrated testing. The latest milestone: avionics powered up on the flight stage. Development work is where a rocket becomes a long list of things to check twice. #AusSpace
At Whadjuk Launch Complex in Exmouth, pad systems are 68% complete. The latest milestone: a deluge wet test passed. Construction is moving from steel and tanks towards the unglamorous business of getting water where it needs to go. #AusSpace
Milestone tally: 4 missions completed and counting — every one flown from Australian soil. https://auscosmos.org #AusSpace
AusCosmos has three active launch facilities: Arnhem Space Centre in the NT, Koonibba Test Range in SA and Bowen Orbital Spaceport in Queensland. Keeping three sites ready takes more than elbow room. #AusSpace
