Pointed towards the sky, this Australian-first rocket is set to blast a small town into the global spotlight

It's taken the Gilmour brothers nearly 10 years to build and design a locally made orbital rocket. Space enthusiasts are set to flock to north Queensland to see it lift off.

Australia’s first locally made orbital rocket is poised to blast off from a small north Queensland town next month.

The 23-metre rocket has been lifted into the vertical position for the first time.

Gilmour Space is waiting for launch approval from the Australian Space Agency.
