## Resource

Gilmour Space Technologies is set to make history with its first hypersonic rocket test flight from North Queensland, launching in July or August if approvals go through. This sub-orbital mission, dubbed Hyperflight, will push tech to seven times the speed of sound — not for weapons, but to rigorously test sensors and defense systems in extreme conditions. While hypersonic flight is a national security priority for Australia, the company’s sights are even loftier: an orbital rocket launch by end of 2026 to meet the booming global demand for satellite launches. Lessons from past flights — like the ERIS TestFlight1’s fuel pump issue — are already shaping improvements, proving that even in the face of setbacks, Australia’s space ambitions are accelerating.
