The Arnhem Space Centre was a commercial spaceport near Nhulunbuy, in Arnhem Land, Australia. The facility was owned and operated by Equatorial Launch Australia, both of which were founded by Scott Wallis in 2016. ASC was the location of NASA's first non-orbital sounding rocket launch from a commercial spaceport outside the United States, which took place on 27 June 2022. After the initial set of launches, there were plans for private companies to use the site, but operations were ceased in 2024 due to a dispute with the Northern Land Council.
