First Australia-based NASA Space Launch To Happen! Schedule, Goal, and Other Details

The first Australia-based NASA space mission will soon blast off! This major effort of the international space union is expected to change the space industry of the country.

As of writing, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is still quite busy with its other out-of-this-world activities.

These include the new Space Launch System, NASA's new launchpad that was rolled out in Florida for the second time.

Now, NASA has another plan that will certainly benefit Australia in the long run.

First Australia-based NASA Space Launch To Happen!

According to The Sydney Morning Herald's latest report, the new NASA space mission based in Australia is expected to happen this coming June 26.

The international space union will use three rockets to bring instruments, which will help it conduct space experiments to further study how the light emitted by stars affects planets' ability to sustain life.

For the past few years, NASA has been trying to find planets that have characteristics similar to Earth's.

If ever stars' light indeed influences a heavenly's body capability to sustain life, the space company can use it to identify more Earth-like exoplanets.

NASA Helping Australia's Space Industry

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese shared his excitement regarding the upcoming NASA space launches in Australia.

"This project will bring together the global and local industry to take Australia's space sector into a new era," said Albanese via Bloomberg.

On the other hand, NASA Science Mission Directorate's Associate Administrator Thomas Zurbuchen said that the Australia-based launches could lead to further collaborations with the country, especially since the commercial launch range in the country can allow NASA have more access to the Southern Hemisphere's night sky.

Meanwhile, NASA's DAVINCI mission will soon dive through Venus' thick toxic atmosphere.

Previously, NASA and Space Force ordered some SpaceX and ULA launches to be conducted for national security purposes.
