The world is currently experiencing a space race, with an increasing number of nations investing in space programs to explore the final frontier.

Western Australian Spaceport April Walker has a vision to establish a space launch facility near Albany to address the current demands of private and government missions.

Ms Walker told Chrissy Morrissy on 6PR Afternoons, “We wanted to have a cost and time advantage. We needed to find a location that had an incumbent airport that has regular commercial services, seaport and major road arterial.”

“In my experience, the City of Albany is so progressive in their attitude towards our project, they have been so supportive since founding in 2019,” Ms Walker continued.
