The Black Brant IX | XQC mission is a suborbital astrophysics launch conducted by Equatorial Launch Australia, scheduled to take place on 2022-06-26T14:30:00Z from the Arnhem Space Centre. The payload, XQC, is a high-energy particle detector designed to study the properties of cosmic rays and their interactions with the Earth's atmosphere. This mission is significant for its contribution to the understanding of high-energy astrophysical phenomena, which has implications for the field of astroparticle physics. The Black Brant IX rocket, a two-stage vehicle, will be used for this launch, marking a reuse of the booster, with the exact number of previous flights not specified. The mission will provide valuable data on the XQC payload's performance and will help advance our knowledge of the universe.
