A Gold Coast company is currently in talks with the Australian Space Agency to potentially launch new technology capable of detecting bushfires.
The rockets developed by Gilmour Space Technologies are able to produce 110 kilonewtons of thrust over a 75 second test period last week, which is the most powerful in Australia’s history.
Chief Executive Adam Gilmour is confident the successful test will allow space agencies to launch low-Earth orbit satellites capable of detecting bushfires in seconds later this year.
