        Space Today
        Satellites have been blasted to space from Australia. On October 28, 1971, Great Britain became the sixth nation to launch an artificial moon to orbit above Earth. The satellite, named Black Knight 1, rode atop a rocket called Black Arrow in a launch from Woomera, Australia.

        Woomera. This village with a population of 1,805 is a small town in the north of South Australia managed by the Australian Department of Defence. It was established in 1947 as a testing station for the British experimental rocket program. South Australia is home to the famous Outback, which contains 80 percent of the state's area, but less than 0.75 percent of its population.

        Great Britain and Australia tested rockets on the firing range at Woomera from the end of World War II through the 1970's. Numerous rockets were launched, including the early Europa series. Woomera also operated as a NASA tracking station until 1972. The rocket testing range and the Nurrungar communications station are prohibited areas managed by the Defence Department.

        More recently, the Australian Space Council has been considering the possibility of new launch pads at Woomera as well as at Weipa and Darwin. Sparsely populated Woomera has useful infrastructure, is usually cloud free, and would be a good location for access to polar orbits.
