ANU Institute for Space | InSpace

InSpace connects space research at Australian National University with society's biggest challenges to deliver positive impact. We do this by shaping and growing the Australian space ecosystem in partnership with Academia, Industry, Government, and Communities. The Australian National University Institute for Space operates under the Research & Innovation Portfolio as a team of individuals dedicated to the common goal of crossing disciplinary borders and developing new opportunities for collaborations in space research across ANU, the Australian space sector, and globally. Space is more than the traditional image of astronauts exploring our solar system or astronomers looking through telescopes. Space is about innovation, technological advancement, and making life better for people on Earth. It’s about satellites and the valuable data they can collect from space, space health and medicine advances that translate to your local hospital, and rovers and robotics that work off-world and in places on Earth that humans cannot reach. ANU InSpace works with Academia, Industry, Government, and Community partners to catalyse space research. We engage with the global space industry, bringing cross-disciplinary capability together to solve national challenges and enable ANU and Australia to contribute to global initiatives such as climate and water resilience, remote healthcare access, and regional security. InSpace team members are advocates for space innovation. They represent ANU, its space capabilities, and world-leading research expertise as members and leaders of influential groups that are shaping the future of Australia’s space industry.
