Southern Launch Tracks Artemis Two Moon Mission

An Adelaide Aerospace outfit called Southern Launch is gearing up to back NASA's Artemis II mission,

the first crude flight around the Moon since, 1972. From their base, they'll passively

track the Orion spacecraft using gear at the Kunibba Test Range near Seduna,

grabbing high-quality data to sharpen, worldwide monitoring for deep space runs.

South Australia's Defense and Space Minister Chris Picton called it a thrill,

spotlighting the state's killer tech talent and its shot at Bigger Space.

Gigs down the line. This ramps up from their volunteer tracking win during Artemis I.

Back in 2022, proving ground crews can deliver under pressure.

CEO Lloyd Damp says it underscores Australia's rising game and lunar support,

especially with Southern Spots key for global ops as we push toward Moon,

bases and Mars. I'm Cory with the story.
