We service a range of orbits
We support a variety of orbit options, including equatorial, low-mid inclination, polar, and sun-synchronous orbits, accommodating a broad range of mission requirements.
A unique feature of the site is the ability to launch in an equatorial orbit as well as multiple higher inclination orbit options. Australia’s vast unpopulated deserts provide an unparalleled capability and flexibility, all from the one spaceport.
Key orbits include:
15° equatorial
25° mid-inclination
45-52° mid-inclination
65° mid-inclination
75-80° mid-inclination
Polar (north) & SSO (south)
