Description
Australia was one of the earliest nations to launch its own satellite, just 10 years after the Space Age began. The Australian designed and built WRESAT-1 launched from the Woomera Rocket Range in South Australia on 29 November 1967, using a rocket donated by the United States. Students from the University of Melbourne developed an early amateur radio satellite, Australis-OSCAR 5, that was launched by NASA on 23 January 1970.
The Royal Australian Mint celebrates the contribution of all amateur astronomers with this stunning 2024 $10 ‘C’ Mintmark Gold Proof Coin.
