Southern Launch is the trading name of SouthernLaunch.space Pty Ltd,[1][2] an Australian aerospace company and launch service provider. As of 2023, they operated Australia's only rocket facilities approved by the Australian Space Agency for launches to space.[3]

The company, which has its main office in Adelaide,[1] South Australia, provides infrastructure and logistics support for orbital and sub-orbital launches of commercial satellites and payloads.[3][4] This role is in response to increasing demand from small-satellite companies for dedicated launches that avoid the constraints and delays of having other payloads on the same vehicle. It operates from two launch sites on western and southern Eyre Peninsula.[5]
