Signed on Sept. 30, 2019, at the 8th Space Forum in Adelaide, South Australia, the agreement sees the two New Space startups work together to launch small payload rockets over the Great Australian Bight.
Southern Launch CEO Lloyd Damp signed the deal with Perigee CEO Yoon Shin at the beginning of Space Week in South Australia. The pair committed to testing the launch facility in 2020 ahead of regular, commercial launches from 2021.
Yoon Shin said he already had customers for his small launch vehicle Blue Whale, pictured, designed to lift small satellites into low altitude high inclination orbits.
