The Eris rocket developed by Australian company Gilmour Space will be the first Australian system to go into orbit if it successfully launches next year
Australian company Gilmour Space has nearly finished building a rocket that it will attempt to launch into space in April 2023. If successful, it will be Australia’s first homegrown orbital spacecraft.
The rocket, called Eris, will stand 23 metres tall and weigh over 30 tonnes. It will be powered by four hybrid engines that contain a solid fuel and a liquid oxidiser.A final test conducted in early November found that each engine could generate 115 kilonewtons of thrust – “enough to pick up three or four SUVs [sports utility vehicles] each”, says Gilmour.
If the launch is successful, it will make Australia the 12th country in the world to send one of its own orbital rockets into space, joining the US, UK, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, France, Israel, India and Iran.
