Photo of the top of a large cabinet (actually a fold out bed) with an assortment of 3D printed model rockets on it.
Photo of three 3D printed flying model rockets: a white one styled after the Gilmour Space Eris rocket, a slightly smaller deep red one, and an orange and teal one.
Dusting the rocket garden in my third bedroom/home office/maker space I am reminded that the white one on the left there is yet to fly.
I actually made this semi-scale flying model of the Gilmour Space Eris rocket way back in December 2022 but I killed the camera […]

I just noticed that, for added Australian-ness, there is a spider on the Vegemite.

Screenshot of a Facebook post by Gilmour Space, including a photo of a singed jar of Vegemite lying on its side on the ground, with the text: Hey guys, don’t worry! Our payload is ok.
It's OK, they found the Vegemite.

Scott Manley's take on Eris TestFlight1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98haEggTw4A
He adds some interesting details about the design of the rocket, e.g. the use of fixed main engine nozzles with reaction control thrusters.

#GilmourSpace got going early this morning and did launch their Eris rocket for the first time, but unfortunately it was a very brief flight.
The rocket did clear the tower and remained pointy end up, flamey end down ...

Gilmour Space have now released some video of Eris TestFlight1 to the media and it's getting posted in various places, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rtKV9t_Cqs
The video shows the flight from two different cameras. In the second clip you can clearly see that there is a failure of one of […]

C’est raté pour la fusée australienne Eris de #GilmourSpace.
Un 1er moteur explose direct, ça part de travers, ça monte doucement tout en compense l’angle, et un 2nd moteur rend l’âme … le tout retombe en tapant sur les tuyères, s’allonge et tout prend feu.
Space is hard…

Photo from Gilmour Space of Testflight1 of their Eris rocket lifting off from the pad.
Photo from Gilmour Space showing a close up of the hybrid rocket motors of TestFlight 1 of their Eris rocket just after liftoff. 3 of the motors have well defined engine exhaust plumes with mach diamonds, but the 4th (furthest from camera) is not so clear.
Screenshot of a Facebook post by Gilmour Space noting the positives from Testflight1 of their Eris rocket. The text is: Today, Eris became the first orbital launch vehicle to lift off from Australian soil — achieving around 14 seconds of flight. For a maiden test flight, especially after an extended 18-month wait on the pad for final approvals, this is a strong result and a major step forward for Australia's sovereign space capability. ® Smooth operations through terminal count and T-0 Successful autosequence and ignition of all four first-stage hybrid rocket engines. ® 23 seconds of engine burn time, 14 seconds of flight Successful integrated operation between rocket and ground systems ® Liftoff from Bowen Orbital Spaceport, clearing the tower ® Flight software & GNC performing as expected ®@ Extensive flight data collected Safe execution of launch and range operations ® From early indications, launch site infrastructure appear intact Most importantly, the team is safe and energised for Test Flight 2. Only six nations launch to orbit regularly — and just a handful are working to join them. Today brings Australia closer to that club. A huge congratulations to our tireless team, and thank you all for your incredible support. Onwards to TestFlight2! =: # (More photos and videos to come from our friends in the media.)
Gilmour Space have posted a couple of good photos of the brief flight of Eris TestFlight 1 on their Facebook page, along with a very positive take on events.
In the second photo, a closeup of the flamey end of the rocket very soon after liftoff, it looks like the […]

So let me set the scene It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees The Queensland harsh summer heat Had me sweating buckets up and down my street It was there I spotted the bloke Perched atop of his milk crate throne He eyed me off as I approached Then he said I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone So it's Tuesday Morning and my Centrelink hasn't come through So I pick up the phone because I've got some abusing to do But all I get is elevator music Waiting on the line On hold all the time All I get is elevator music Waiting on the line 'Til I get a reply I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone "Argh, Ah what time is it? Is it Smoko?" I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
Preliminary investigations by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau say the rocket failed because key staff were "On Smoko".

Screenshot of a LinkedIn post by Adam Gilmour saying they are scrubbing for the day because of winds. Another attempt will be made tomorrow.
*sigh*
The launch is scrubbed.
That Vegemite is staying on the ground for at least another day.

Winds at altitude are the problem. Apparently there are going for one last try for today at 3:23 pm.
