The Koonibba Aboriginal Community in South Australia are bracing themselves with excitement for their first rocket launch on Indigenous Land.
A pair of Adelaide companies, Southern Launch and DEWC, have joined together to launch the rocket on a testing range near the town.
The town of 200 people will see their figures rise, with 250 visitors set to arrive to view Australia’s first private rocket launch.
The elders of the community believe the launch will put their small town on the map.
