Australian CubeSat ACRUX-1 in Low Earth Orbit!

The launch of Rocket Lab’s Make It Rain which happened on the 29 June 2019. It was the seventh launch of their Electron Rocket successfully delivering multiple cubesats to low Earth orbit further proving the reliability of one of the newest launch vehicles in the market. On board was an AUSTRALIAN MADE cubesat proving the capability of students from the Melbourne Space Program!!! My interview was with Steven Despotellis and Johanna Rigby, both who worked on ACRUX-1 and proving the capability in the Australian Space Industry by STUDENTS! Both Steven and Johanna were on Working-from-Home as part of the COVID-19 restrictions, prompting a new sub-series of The Space Down Under LOCKDOWN.
