"NASA has launched a rocket from the newly-built Australian Arnhem Space Centre
- the first commercial space launch in the country's history.
The event made history twice, as it was also NASA's first launch from a
commercial location outside of the US.
Fierce winds had caused the countdown to be aborted a number of times, but
eventually the first of three scheduled launches made it off the ground and
into Earth's orbit.
The rocket is expected to travel around 200 miles in space, carrying equipment
to observe Alpha Centauri constellations.
It is hoped studies will help scientists understand how a star's light can
influence a planet's habitability."
