Launch Area 5 (LA5) is a still operational site at the RAAF Woomera Range Test Range which forms the primary operational capability of the Woomera Range Complex. Originally LA5 was a rocket launch site which supported a number of British experimental launches including the United Kingdom’s first and as of 2013 only satellite launch. It consisted of three separate launch pads which supported 22 Black Knight sounding rocket launches and four Black Arrow carrier rocket launches.
