The Tasmanian Government is supporting the growth of Tasmania’s space sector by building upon our state’s geographic advantages and unique space research infrastructure and expertise.
Tasmania has globally recognised capabilities in space domain awareness, space object tracking and communications, underpinned by the University of Tasmania’s continent-wide network of telescope infrastructure. Tasmania is also becoming a centre for human spaceflight research, training, and testing. Our state’s expertise in remote and extreme environment operations, hyperbaric medicine, and Antarctic space-analogue research is unique to Australia and will play an important role in Australia’s ambitions to participate in the human exploration of our solar system.
