Partnerships with Traditional Owners
Equatorial Launch Australia works in partnership with the traditional owners of the land on which the spaceport is located – the Gumatj people.
The 2022 NASA campaign provided employment and training opportunities for the first nations people of the region, who were integral to ELA’s success for this mission. See some images from the mission below.
Together ELA and the Gumatj Corporation are on a mission to bring the space sector to East Arnhem Land for the benefit of locals.
