Watch the EV revolution rocket into orbit by Aussie company





The EV revolution is heading for space following a partnership between Australian hybrid rocket developer Gilmour Space Technologies and UK-based electrification specialist Equipmake to support the Gold Coast company’s commercial launch program.

BusinessNewsAustralia reports under the agreement, Equipmake will supply an advanced, lightweight electric motor system for Gilmour Space’s Eris rockets which are set to take their first commercial payload from the company’s Bowen Orbital Spaceport in North Queensland next year.

The website reported Gilmour Space - whose co-founder James Gilmour won the 2022 Gold Coast Young Entrepreneur Award for Technology - says the state-of-the art aluminium ‘spoke architecture’ motor will deliver ‘unprecedented levels of efficiency and performance, capable of operating under the intense pressures of launch and in the vacuum of space’.
