Gilmour Space Technologies and AROSE Consortium: Who Wins from This Partnership?

Gilmour Space Technologies is a vivid example of how a small company can almost literally reach the stars. A Queensland-based manufacturer of orbital launch vehicles is the largest in Australia, with around 85 employees. But for reference, Virgin Orbit has 390 employees and SpaceX — 9,500! Nevertheless, the Queensland government puts high stakes on Gilmour Space Technologies, and for a reason. The company has gained $61 million in support from investors from around the globe, which is the most significant private investment received by an Australian space company whatsoever.
