Equatorial Launch Australia (ELA) owns and operates the Arnhem Space Centre (ASC), located 12.4 degrees south of the equator in Australia’s Northern Territory.
Its strategic location enables ELA to offer multiple orbit options from equatorial, low, and mid inclination through to SSO/Polar, providing rocket companies and their payload customers operational freedom and simplicity for their launch and mission design.
Following past launches with NASA the ASC is being redeveloped into a multi-user commercial facility. ‘Resident Launcher’ arrangements are available on a pay-per launch basis with remaining Space Launch Complexes filling fast.
ELA provides a full suite of launch services, supporting mission and launch:
- Mission/Launch planning and feasibility
- Australian Space Agency permit and regulation management
- Mission payload aggregation support (rideshare)
- Full scope launch preparation and conduct including logistics, operations management and launch/range control and management
- Recovery of vehicles/stages
- Full test and range services available for both commercial and military customers using our Arnhem Space Test and Evaluation Range (ASTERTM)
- Payload management
- Rocket propellant/oxidiser/gas production, acquisition, storage and preparation
Winner of ‘Launch Business of the Year’ in the 2024 Australian Space Awards and finalist in five Australian Space Awards categories, as well as finalist in the InnovationAus 2024 Excellence Awards (Defence, Dual-Use and Space), ELA provides a world-class value proposition.
