UNSW Canberra Space and collaborators at Ecole Polytechnique, CNRS, and Safran are working through the COMHET laboratory to develop advanced iodine plasma chemistry models.

UNSW Canberra Space is conducting research into iodine plasma behaviour, new propulsion concepts, and system designs tailored to iodine.

UNSW Canberra Space partnered with the University of Michigan to carry out an audit tracking the evolution of iodine propulsion systems from initial design through to on-orbit performance.

Defence Trailblazer’s Advanced Innovation Fund is providing support for the HEO and UNSW Canberra Space RPO project.

Following the January acquisition of Continuum-1, the joint HEO and UNSW Canberra Space team has entered the mission planning phase for the RPO maneuvers.

Associate Professor Melrose Brown, Director of UNSW Canberra Space and Defence Trailblazer Theme Lead, leads the project research team.

The mission will help establish Australia’s first experimental Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Operations Centre on the UNSW campus.

The mission builds upon UNSW Canberra Space’s 2021–2023 demonstration of propulsionless RPO formation flying.

Professor Craig Stockings, Head of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at UNSW Canberra, described the publication as a timely and important contribution to national debate.

Interstellar Innovation has supplied multiple tonnes of lunar regolith simulant to the University of New South Wales (UNSW) for their Moonyard test bed.

Professor Serkan Saydam is the Chair of Mining Engineering at UNSW Sydney and Deputy Director of ACSER.

This collaboration positions UNSW and Australia to play a leading role in NASA's Artemis program.

The delivery of lunar regolith simulant to UNSW's Moonyard Test Bed allows for large-scale testing of rover mobility and excavation.

The study was co-funded by UNSW Canberra and polled a nationally representative sample of more than 1,500 Australians.

Infinity Avionics is collaborating with the University of New South Wales Canberra Space and Nominal Systems to develop technology to autonomously detect space objects.

Skykraft was established in 2017 as a spin-off company from UNSW Canberra.

Skykraft’s manufacturing facility opened in March 2022 and is located in the centre of Canberra as part of the UNSW Canberra Launch innovation hub.

The Waratah Seed Consortium includes CUAVA, the University of Sydney, ACSER at the University of NSW, Saber Astronautics, Delta-V NewSpace Alliance, Macquarie University, and the University of Technology Sydney.
