Space Startup Collapses After NASA Rockets

A space startup that launched NASA rockets from the Northern Territory has collapsed into liquidation, leaving a $5 million debt to the NT government.

A space start-up once billed as the future of Australia's space launch industry has collapsed into liquidation, still owing the Northern Territory government $5 million. The company had previously launched NASA rockets from NT facilities.

The liquidation comes as a setback for Australia's growing space ambitions, with the government now seeking to recover the outstanding funds.
