National Space Qualification Network (NSQN)

The National Space Qualification Network evolved from the desire to provide a high-quality sovereign space qualification service to help grow the Australian Space Manufacturing Industry. The consortium of six founding partners came together to drive the vision of Australian-led and managed space testing facilities. - The Australian National University - Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) - National Space Test Facility (NSTF) - Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) - Steritech - University of Wollongong Australia - Saber Astronautics - Nova Systems To help Australian industry successfully launch their products into space requires the highest level of reliability for mission success in extreme environments. The NSQN will provide a combined total of $1 billion of space qualification infrastructure for immediate, cost-effective testing and accelerated space mission design and delivery. Our radiation capabilities are world-leading and will accelerate Australian space manufacturing growth, driving the increased international competitiveness for Australian space technology. With the NSQN, businesses can boost space mission assurance and success through knowhow, rigorous testing, and qualification, right here in Australia. The NSQN is supported by funding from the Australian Space Agency’s Space Infrastructure Fund and the ACT Government.
