A rocket is set to launch on Friday using a different type of fuel.

The rocket will be fuelled by candle wax and liquid oxygen.

The German rocket will blast off at 3:30pm, after a successful prelaunch rehearsal yesterday.

It will launch from the Koonibba Test Range in the state's far west.

The rocket is being used to test if a greener alternative to rocket fuel can be viable.
