In a historic move, Nasa has successfully launched a rocket from Australia's remote Northern Territory, making it the agency's first commercial launch outside the US.
After a delay due to rain and wind, the sub-orbital rocket carrying technology likened to a "mini Hubble" telescope, blasted off from the Arnhem Space Centre on the Dhupuma plateau at half-past midnight on Monday.
The blast off was the space agency's first launch from a commercial spaceport outside the US and is reportedly aimed to help scientists conduct studies that can only be undertaken in the southern hemisphere. Monday's launch was also the first for Australia in nearly 27 years.
The rocket, carrying an X-ray quantum calorimeter, is expected to travel over 186 miles into space to observe the Alpha Centauri A and B constellations. The quantum calorimeter will enable University of Michigan scientists to measure interstellar X-rays with precision and provide new data on the impact of a star's light on the habitability of planets.
Nearly 75 Nasa personnel were present at the newly constructed launch site and nearly 100 scientists, politicians and Indigenous leaders were shuttled to watch the launch.
"It was in the blink of an eye, but to me, it was like it was in slow motion because the whole area just lit up," Yirrkala School co-principal Merrkiyawuy Ganambarr-Stubbs told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

The interesting bit for me is the instrumentation... where a proper description is available here.

ITAR make international cooperation like this extremely difficult. I'm surprised they were able to pull it off.

I don't think ITAR is much of an issue. You can bring ITAR restricted items out of the US as long as they are under the control of the responsible party, so in this case they would need to keep the item secure and guarded before launch, including after it is mounted onto the rocket.

Unofficial annexed territory more like. Our politicians have a fantasy that they're in a partnership but really we're just passively subjugated vassals. Of course not like we have much of a choice - its between that or being officially "pacified" by China, but much like our flora and fauna, we're a hardy bunch, we're survive.

Having lived through visits to Canberra by American Presidents, I don't think the above comment is too far off the mark.

in addition to f35 circling, we can get used to rockets launching from the southern continent,for when the war with east asia goes hot.

I guess the bar for making history has gotten pretty low for NASA.

Your signature's YOUR UNDOING:
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people; the smallest discuss hosts files"
You must be a NO-MIND: Especially as I SHOT YOU DOWN discussing hosts making YOU the SMALLEST NO MIND since I easily tore you apart with FACTS (i.e./e.g. - Paralyzing botnets is EASY if you have the C2 & other servers it uses information - FACT & why security articles post Indicators of Compromise (IOC)).

Dalek EXTERMINATED by APK (again)!
No small wonder he got rid of his OLD SIGNATURE of "exterminate", lol - especially after ALL of the below FACTS:
FACT: Hosts work vs. Symbiote C2 server(s) per this line from a MUCH better article than the one used here from bradley13 per "configuration in the binary that used the git[.]bancodobrasil[.]dev domain as its C2 server" from https://www.intezer.com/blog/research/new-linux-threat-symbiote/ [intezer.com]
& did I block that in my original posts here https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=49835&page=1&cid=1253504#commentwrap [soylentnews.org] on this BOGUS sockpuppet upmodding yourselves shithole website (which also noted FIREWALLS are invaluable here too, per wildcards (or even IP address use, URL domain/subdomain too in many as well))?
YES I DID! I was correct!
FACT: hosts files block symbiote C2 servers which is all you really need to do to nullify their communication.
FACT: Exfiltration isn't possible without orders either.
FACT: Orders come from C2 servers!
And what did you say to ME hypocrite?
I showed real results doctors had on video stating it themselves.
YET All you do is cite MSM VERY FAKE NEWS!
Proven TONS of times to be so in fact along with their "fact checkers" !
I put up what PHD and MDs by the truckload literally let us see (not just YOUR MSM "russia, Russia, RUSSIA" disproven in COURTS vs. Trump very fake news)?
Do as I say not as I do right dalek?
You are a hypocrite BS artist that CONTRADICTS himself!
More from your losing attempt @ DEBATING me (you = IGNORANT FOOL in this area of genetics & TOTALLY undereducated in it - whereas by COMPARISON I am not):
THIS IS ALL ABOUT GENETICS!
WHAT IS mRNA after all?
ANSWER = A part of protein synthesis involving mRNA, tRNA, & rRNA for the creation of DNA!
IF RNA single helix strands JOIN improperly into a NEW double-helix DNA (via Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine & Thymine) it creates ERRORS (cancer is 1 possible bad one, mutations another etc.)
See NHEJ below.
dalek - have you taken any genetics coursework?
I have & got A's (as my science elective requirement during my CS degreework)!
