A vision for space science and technology in Australia

The plan outlines strategies to lead Australia into a future that embraces a vibrant space sector and space industry, underpinned by space science and technology, and in due course supported by a national space agency.

Australian space science and technology has significant strengths that play into global efforts such as space situational awareness, space weather, disruptive space technology developments based on small satellites, planetary science, and STEM outreach.

Australia needs a coordination framework for space science and technology and for its translation to innovation, that positions the sector as a unified contributor to the national economy

The National Committee for Space and Radio Science consulted extensively with broad a representation of researchers and organisations to create this plan.
