Satellite Program

ASRI Satellite Program

AIM

The aim of the Satellite Program is to develop an Australian domestic capability to develop, design, manufacture and operate space systems.

This will be achieved through the development of core technology and experience in designing, building, launching and operating space systems such as satellites.

Background

The Satellite Program fulfils a significant part of the ASRI Vision. The program is concerned with the development of a satellite capability, including the domestic development of a ‘generic’ satellite Bus and associated Payloads and to fly on one or more of these generic Buses.

Objectives

“To develop capability to build and launch Australian satellites”

The objective of the Satellite Program is stated simply above. ASRI wishes to develop the capability and the experience to define, develop, launch and operate satellites.

To achieve this, the Satellite Program will build capability both within ASRI and in the broader Australian context through co-operation with other organisations and educational institutes.
