MMS-1 IS READYING FOR LAUNCH!​​

​

Gilmour Space’s first satellite bus, ElaraSat, is readying to fly with Exolaunch on the next SpaceX Transporter-14 launch -- planned for NET 21 June 2025.

​

ElaraSat is a 100-kg satellite platform built for diverse missions in orbit. Its first mission, called MMS-1, will carry a hyperspectral imager from our partners at CSIRO, designed to monitor water quality from space.

​

It's a major milestone for sovereign capability in Australia, and part of our goal to make space more accessible to global customers.
