Concept Exploration of an Australian Indigenous Space Launch Capability (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249834298)

Currently there are only nine countries with a space launch capability, relatively few considering the importance and prestige of such an ability. Although Australia has played an important role in the development and exploration of space from the beginning, it has failed to capitalize the potential benefits of having its space program. This thesis endeavors to explore the possibility of establishing an Australian indigenous space launch capability through developing and examining an Australian space launch program model. The model is based around launch site location, vehicle design, program duration, and the percentage Australian indigenous input into the space launch program.
