Nasa has launched a rocket from the Arnhem Space Centre, on the Dhupuma Plateau in Australia's Northern Territory. This is Nasa's first launch from a commercial spaceport outside the US and the first in Australia in 27 years. The rocket carries scientific equipment, including an X-ray quantum calorimeter which will allow scientists to gather new data on the structure of space. The Arnhem Space Centre is located on Yolngu land. The Yolngu people were involved in the launch and will be involved in retrieving rocket modules on their return to Earth
