The Australian Space Agency and the Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic have granted Gilmour Space an Australian launch permit for the orbital test flight of the company's Eris rocket.
The permit includes a number of conditions that must be met before launch and a mandatory 30-day notification period.
"With this green light, we will soon attempt the first orbital test flight of an Australian-made rocket from Australian soil," said Gilmour Space CEO and co-founder, Adam Gilmour.
"Our team is assessing the conditions of the permit and will advise on the anticipated launch date for Eris TestFlight1 in the coming weeks."
In March, Gilmour Space's Bowen Orbital Spaceport was granted Australia's first orbital launch facility licence Minister for Husic.
