Gilmour Space blasted onto the tech pages with news of its $61 million raise this morning, proving the Aussie space scene is attracting interest and big cheques.
It’s the latest in a string of huge funding announcements for local startups. But it also follows an uptick in activity in the Aussie space tech scene.
RMIT is set to launch a space hub to support businesses seeking satellite data, and the Australian National University has secured a $2.5 million grant to establish infrastructure for space testing facilities.
The Moonshot space tech incubator announced back in November that it was backing 11 space startups, including both Aussie and international ventures.
