The Andy Thomas Space Foundation: Inspiring the next generation of space leaders

The Foundation is positioning itself to play a crucial and exciting role in the Australian space ecosystem by supporting the outreach and education goals of the Australian Space Agency and by acting as an interface between the space community and the public. 

 

The University operates a continent-wide collection of radio telescopes: the AuScope VLBI Array

The University of Tasmania is playing a leading role in the global space industry by providing high-precision positioning data, tracking and downlink services and telemetry support for a range of space missions, including for ESA, CNSA, Roscosmos, NASA and the SpaceX CRS missions to resupply the International Space Station.
