Payload Fairing Accident in Gilmour Space is. Startup, a Australian -based venture Startup, Gilmour Space said that this week he is ready to launch a small rocket from his private -owned space port on the remote part of the country’s northeast coast, ARS reports. The three -phase rocket of Gelmor, named Ers, was designed to launch in early Wednesday, but the effort was delayed by the US on Thursday in the case of a ground system. And then on Thursday, something weird happened: “During the last night, during the last checks, an unexpected problem stimulates the rocket’s pay -load fairing,” The company said Thursday afternoon, our time.
Always more problems to solve… Gilmore, based in the Gold Coast, Australia, was founded in 2012 by two brothers, Adam and James Gilmour, who came into the space industry after a career in banking and marketing. Today, more than 200 people, most engineers and technicians work in Gilmore. The first launch of the Gilmour’s Ers Rocket is a completely full -fledged flight. Gilmore has tested rocket engines and practiced the countdown last year, loaded the propellant and obtained within 10 seconds of launch. But Gillemor warned in a post on LinkedIn early Wednesday that “test launch is complicated.” And it was confirmed on Thursday. Now the company will need to make an alternative fairing source, which will probably take a while.
Is an orbit launch from Argentina? We do not know much about the Argentine launch company Tlon Space, producing a (very) small lift orbit rocket, called Auntura 1. According to the company’s websiteThis launch vehicle is capable of raising 25kg of low ground orbit. Some kind of flight test It happened two years ago, but the video ended after a minute, which shows that the end of the flight was less than nominal.
Maybe, probably not… now, a post whose name is Argent 24 Reports Efforts are underway. It is not clear what it means, and the details about what is actually happening in the Malakra space port in Argentina are not clear. I could not find any other outlets about the launch effort. So my guess is that nothing will happen soon, but this is something we will keep in mind, regardless of. (Submitted by feeding.)
