An astrophysicist at the Australian National University said: Brad Tuckerwhich will be 400 meters from the launch pad in Arnhem Space CenterAustralia’s dry environment and proximity to the equator provide ideal conditions for space launches.

. added "There are not many places close to the equator like Arnhem, which is 12 degrees (only) from it, and there are not particularly places near the equator where the air is dry and stable. Florida, where Cape Canaveral is located, is somewhat swampy"referring to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

She said "NASA" Three launches from Arnhem Space Center in June and July will help it explore how the light of a star can affect a planet’s habitability.

She explained in a statement that today’s mission will carry detectors to measure X-rays produced by the hot gases that fill the space between stars to help study how they affect the formation and evolution of galaxies.

An Australian National University astrophysicist said the second and third missions in July will monitor Alpha Centauri, the closest star to Earth, and closest to Earth. Southern Cross constellation appearing on the Australian flag. The constellation and Alpha Centauri can only be seen in the sky of the southern hemisphere.

And the French Press Agency quoted Brad Tucker as saying that "The big goal is to find out if there are Earth-like planets around it". He pointed out that scientists have been waiting for ten years to launch a missile from the southern hemisphere. It will be visible for 10-50 seconds.

And he continued, "100 seconds following launch, the science teams will start working and you’ll have control of the telescope on board… and you’ll know right away how well it worked.".

NASA is the first customer of the commercial spaceport operated by Equatorial Launch Australia, and 70 NASA employees have traveled to Australia for all three missions.

The payload and the missile will return to Earth on Sunday evening as well.
