The Australian Space Agency has launched a campaign to instil a sense of Aussie pride in its first space mission to the Moon, dubbed Australia’s “boldest adventure yet.”

In collaboration with NASA, the mission involves sending an Australian-made rover to the Moon and is expected to launch in 2026.
