      Australia's role in the space industry

      Australia is increasingly becoming an attractive investment option for the global space industry and is well placed to play a critical role in the global supply chain for space industries.

      The country offers:

      • strong candidate for manufacture of vehicular and satellite components, due to technologically advanced workforce skills mix 
      • a viable launch location due to equatorial proximity and vast remote regions
      • a clear appetite for investment and research into advancing space capabilities.
