The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
According to the NASA article Ares I-X Flight Test, “The flight test is expected to provide NASA with an enormous amount of data that will be used to improve the design and safety of the next generation of American spaceflight vehicles, which could again take humans beyond low Earth orbit.”
NASA added in the article NASA's Ares I-X Rocket Completes Successful Flight Test, "Wednesday's flight offered an early opportunity to test and prove hardware,
facilities, and ground operations - important data for future space vehicles.
During the flight, a range of performance data was relayed to the ground and
also stored in the onboard flight data recorder."
"The 700 sensors mounted on the
vehicle provide flight test engineering data to correlate with computer models
and analysis. The rocket's sensors gathered information in several areas,
including assembly and launch operations, separation of the vehicle's first and
second stages, controllability and aerodynamics, the re-entry and recovery of
the first stage and new vehicle design techniques."
Associate administrator for the NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate Doug Cooke added, "This is a huge step forward for NASA's exploration goals. Ares I-X provides NASA with an enormous amount of
data that will be used to improve the design and safety of the next generation
of American spaceflight vehicles -- vehicles that could again take humans beyond
low Earth orbit."
