$2.5 million grant to boost space payload testing capabilities
Ensuring Australian-made satellites and other sensitive electronic equipment will operate correctly in space is the aim of a $2.5 million grant provided by the Morrison Government to the Australian National University (ANU).
The funding will enable the ANU and its space research partners to establish a National Space Qualification Network (NSQN), which will offer end-to-end payload testing services to Australian manufacturers.
Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Christian Porter said creating an end-to-end testing capability will save space manufacturers both time and money, as they will no longer have to send sensitive equipment offshore to ensure it meets Australian and international standards.
