NASA will launch a series of rockets into space from the Northern Territory starting this month, marking the first time the space exploration giant has launched rockets from a commercial facility outside the U.S.

Between June 26 and July 12, three scientific suborbital sounding rockets will be launched from the Arnhem Space Centre, marking the first time NASA has launched rockets from Australia since 1995, when launches were carried out from the Royal Australian Air Force Woomera Range Complex in South Australia.
