About Southern Launch
Southern Launch is an Australian space infrastructure company providing launch and return services for orbital and sub-orbital satellites and payloads from the Southern Hemisphere. It operates the Koonibba Test Range in South Australia and delivers end-to-end mission support including regulatory compliance, preparation and operations for rocket manufacturers and government customers — including multi-launch agreements such as work with South Korea’s UNASTELLA. In June 2026 Southern Launch raised A$25 million in Series A funding led by Brindabella & Company, with participation from the Australian National Reconstruction Fund and investors including Nicholas Moore and Alex Harvey, to expand Southern Hemisphere launch capacity.
