InSpace coordinates space-related activity and supports superior research performance across the ANU. We match world-class researchers with astronomers and fund their work to create unique space research missions built on innovation and collaboration. Our work ultimately supports the ten priority areas of the Australian space industry.
Access to Space
Australia's unique geographical location means we can leverage international space missions and commercial launch activities to grow our space industry.
Earth Observation
Earth observation (EO) has untapped potential to grow Australia’s economy.
Position, navigation and timing
Australia's position, navigation and timing infrastructure needs to be world-class to underpin the growth of the broader economy.
Robotics and automation on Earth and in space
Australia can leverage its expertise in robotics technology and systems for remote operation and exploration in space.
Space situational awareness and debris monitoring
Australia’s geographical position makes it an ideal location for space debris tracking and space traffic management activities.
