Woomera Space launch site delayed.
Construction of the proposed space launch site at Woomera in the State’s far north has been delayed because of design changes.
Rocketplane Kistler Australia chairman Alan Evans yesterday said work on the site was expected to begin in May.
“Things are a little behind but they are still on track,” he said.
“We will be working with the SA Government to try and identify as many of the local contractors and staff we can get (for the project).”
In August, the U.S.-based Kistler received a $272 million contract from NASA to launch rockets into space from Woomera.

Obviously, the artist hasn’t been anywhere near Woomera, cos it’s flat as a tack there. Ideal for watching things blow up.
