Five Australian payloads lifted off today. They were onboard SpaceX's Tranporter-14 mission.
Varda’s spacecraft, Winnebago-3, re-enters Earth and lands at Southern Launch’s Koonibba Test Range in regional South Australia.
The Buccaneer Main Mission will collect high-frequency measurements in low-Earth orbit to better understand radio-frequency propagation through the ionosphere.
Milestone moment for the Australian space sector as capsule re-enters Earth and lands at Koonibba Test Range.
The Australian Space Agency’s latest changes to the space activities legislation will streamline the regulatory framework.
SpaceX's Transporter-12 mission carries six Aussie space technologies into orbit.
Gilmour Space Technologies is authorised to launch its Eris 1 orbital rocket from Bowen in Queensland
This was the first such authorisation granted by the Australian Government for a domestically returning spacecraft under the amended Space (Launches and Returns) Act 2018.
The sustainable use of space is a global challenge requiring a global response, and we want to hear from you during this public consultation.
Public consultation commences on proposed changes to enhance the regulation of space activities.
The Technology Safeguards Agreement between Australia and the US has come into effect and will unlock more international launches
Regulations to conduct space activities were set up on 21 December 1998
The agreement will ensure DASA and the Australian Space Agency develop a common approach to the regulation of Australian space activities.
We are seeking feedback on proposed changes to the Space (Launches and Returns) (General) Rules 2019 and Space (Launches and Returns) (High Power Rocket) Rules 2019.
The proposed changes will remove requirements that:
The Australian Space Agency has given regulatory approval for a commercial rocket launch to take place from a newly licensed launch facility.
The Australian Space Agency has granted Australia’s second launch facility licence, for Southern Launch’s facility in Whalers Way, 680km west of Adelaide.
Australia is developing a world-class space regulatory system. The regulation of Australian space and high power rocket activities will balance entrepreneurship, while ensuring national safety and security.
The spacecraft travelled for 6 years to the 4.6-billion-year-old asteroid Ryugu and then back to Earth in Australia's outback.
The Australian Space Agency (the Agency) has identified access to space as one of the seven National Civil Space Priorities in the 10-year plan, Advancing Space, the Australian Civil Space Strategy 2019-2028.
The capsule has samples from the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Ryugu on board. This is the first ever sub-surface asteroid sample to return to Earth.
