It’s been a big year for ANU InSpace! We hosted and attended over two dozen meetings, events, and conferences. We networked with hundreds of people involved in the space sector from academia, industry, government, and the community. We welcomed three new Business Development Managers onto our team. We won awards and honours and continued our commitment to be leading advocates for space research.

Three of our flagship missions took off: the Quantum Optical Ground Station opened to great fanfare in December, our Associate Director Dr. Cassandra Steer and her team launched the Australian Centre for Space Governance as its own entity, and the National Space Qualification Network (NSQN) cemented its position as a leading space testing organisation with a thriving community and celebrated the opening of the new space irradiation beamline at the Heavy Ion Accelerators Facility.

But this is just the beginning. There’s so much on the horizon for ANU InSpace and for the space industry. Here’s to everything 2023 brought us and to everything yet to come. We wish you and yours a restful holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you in 2024.
