Space Startup Folds After NASA Launches

A space startup once touted as Australia's space launch future has collapsed into liquidation after launching NASA rockets from the Northern Territory.

The company, which facilitated NASA rocket launches from the NT, has entered liquidation proceedings. Despite its initial promise in Australia's space industry, the business has left a $5 million debt to the Northern Territory government.

The collapse represents a setback for Australia's burgeoning space sector, which had high hopes for the startup to establish a permanent launch facility in the region.
