Welcome to ANU InSpace

InSpace plays a pivotal role in shaping and growing the space ecosystem in Australia by connecting ANU space research with society’s biggest challenges to deliver positive impact. We do this by working in partnership with Industry, Government, Academia, and Communities.

Interview with Kim Cunio, Composer of the ANU InSpace Theme Tune

In November 2022, ANU InSpace hosted a showcase of our projects. To demonstrate just how broad-reaching our multidisciplinary approach is, we asked Kim Cunio, Professor of Music at the ANU School of Music, to compose a theme tune just for us.

Kim takes a special interest in space and in sharing the overlap of space research across many fields. Listen to our interview with Kim to learn how he uses space as inspiration for his music, and to get a sneak preview of his incredible InSpace theme tune!

2023 ANU InSpace Media Wrap Up

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.
