This is a key payload of an Earth Observation Resilience satellite mission that aims&nbsp;to improve continental scale fire management and environmental monitoring tailored specifically to Australian Eucalypt forests. The second project brings together <strong>Infinity Avionics<\/strong>, <strong>UNSW Canberra<\/strong> and <strong>Nominal Systems<\/strong> to develop capabilities in Space-Based Space Surveillance (SBSS), a vital tool for both defence and commercial space operations contending with the risks of navigating increasing debris and space objects in LEO. SmartSat&nbsp;aims to make&nbsp;a strong contribution to the Australian Government\u2019s goal of tripling the size of the space sector to&nbsp;A$12&nbsp;billion ($7.7 billion) and creating up to 20,000 jobs by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince 2020, SmartSat has demonstrated its commitment to building the ACT\u2019s space R&amp;D capabilities, funding over ten projects at ANU and UNSW Canberra. We are excited to support this proactive agenda laid out by the ACT government. This fresh round of research investment by SmartSat delivers a rapid injection to the ACT Space Update. We believe it will have a force-multiplier effect on the development of space R&amp;D capability in the ACT and provide direct support to the ANU\u2019s broader&nbsp;Earth Observation Resilience&nbsp;Mission with critical technology,\u201d SmartSat CEO Professor Andy Koronios, said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia\u2019s leading space research center, SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) has launched a new suite of new R&amp;D projects and university appointments in support of the ACT Space Update 2023.
