Australia in Space – Earth and Beyond
Discover how Australia’s location and expertise give a unique advantage in space. Use a virtual telescope to ‘link up’ with iconic deep space missions that Australia supports, or discover how satellites allow over-the-horizon communications in a laser-based puzzle game.
Be inspired by stories of how Australian innovators are using space technologies to improve life on Earth, and how Earth observations from space are transforming the ways we live and work.
Tackle space junk with a friend in a cooperative computer game based on real Australian technology and pilot a simulated Mars rover to discover how Australia’s remote mining expertise will translate into off-world benefits for the next phase of human spaceflight.
