The Challenge
Proving a remote Space Station with rocket-fueled power.
Morningside Electrical required power and temperature control for a remote Space Station during its construction and early stages of operation.
With no mains access, nothing during the construction or operation could take place without Aggreko’s generators. But with the location being extremely remote with poor road access, providing the power and temperature control systems would be difficult.

The Solution
Shooting for the stars
Aggreko managed to fully support the rocket launch from Australia’s spaceport in the Northern Territory.
We delivered a number of generators, fuel tanks, AC units, and the associated cables and ducting to the remote location via sea barge.
These solutions were then installed as a temporary measure until their own generators are commissioned and installed.
Now, Aggreko is providing long-term support from November 2021 until September 2022.
