Australia’s space industry could be poised to take off after the government gave a shout-out to the launch of the first rocket powered by Australian-made fuel.

Queensland’s Black Sky Aerospace has successfully used its proprietary solid rocket fuel for a launch in outback Queensland earlier this month, a move that Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Karen Andrews says could provide the local space industry with its own reliable, onshore fuel manufacturing for the first time.

“It will boost the economy, and create new skilled jobs, as we rocket toward our goal of tripling the size of the local space sector to $12 billion and an extra 20,000 jobs by 2030,” she added.

This comes as the market bounced back from yesterday’s fall with small caps up 1.36 per cent to 3,127.6.
