Josey, you are correct -
"Particularly important to the Australian space story was the US-led SPARTA Project (1966-67): the generous donation of a spare launch vehicle from this program enabled the launch of WRESAT (Weapons Research Establishment Satellite), Australia’s first satellite.

With a launch vehicle available, WRESAT was designed, constructed and launched in only eleven months: a significant achievement in itself. A collaboration between the WRE and the University of Adelaide, WRESAT’s scientific instrument package was derived from the Australian upper atmosphere sounding rocket programs and helped to corroborate their findings.
Launched on November 27, 1967, WRESAT gave Australia entry into the exclusive “space club” of countries that had orbited a national satellite."

My bad, how is it that a bit of information gets lodged in my head 50 years ago, starts to fester, gets moved about, and finally pops out as a piece of crap.
But I hope you agree with me - the omen is that we should be looking at the Red Stone, and not the Blue Streak. We are clearly being told where our future good fortune lies.
