**🇦🇺 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 A Major Step Forward for Project Karman Line**

Space Centre Australia has reached an important regulatory milestone for **Project Karman Line**, establishing an approved pathway for controlled technology development across **Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom**.

The approval also represents an important step towards our longer-term objective of integrating **Karman Line with SCA's C-130J Mk4 long-body aircraft platform** — bringing together international engineering, advanced flight testing and the development of a future civilian airborne space capability.

For a program of this complexity, progress isn't measured only by engineering milestones. Building the regulatory architecture to develop advanced aerospace technology internationally is equally important.

**Three countries. One development program. And another significant step towards flight.**
