Since starting its rocket program in 2015, Gold Coast based Gilmour Space Technologies has become the leading provider of Australian-made launch vehicles and satellite platforms. The venture-funded company is one of Australia’s largest space employers with over 200 employees; a private orbital spaceport in Bowen, North Queensland; funding from Australia’s largest private investors; and a growing launch services business catering to Australian and international satellite customers. Recently, Gilmour Space also received the country’s first orbital launch license in preparation for the first test flight of its Eris rocket.
Hear how this Queensland based company’s journey to the stars has launched them into Game Changer status.
The conversation will be facilitated by Kate O’Toole, 612 ABC Radio Brisbane presenter.
