Weather conditions delayed the launch for about an hour as wind, rain and clouds arrived at the launch site. The rocket is the first of three NASA-designed rockets to be launched from the remote NT space centre, which will not enter orbit but instead collect valuable scientific information into the physics of the Sun, astrophysics, and the type of planetary science which can only be conducted in the southern hemisphere. It was the first time the internationally renowned space agency has launched a rocket from a commercial port outside the USA. “We went through the full weather spectrum last night we had heavy rain and cloud”“It would put some risk into what the launch angles will be so we just had to make sure it was safe.” In a first for Australia, US space agency NASA launched a commercial rocket from a remote area of the Northern Territory on Sunday night.
