ANU Institute for Space (InSpace)

The Australian National University Institute for Space – InSpace, connects ANU space research with society’s biggest challenges to deliver positive impact. We do this by shaping and growing the Australian space ecosystem in partnership with industry, government, academia, and communities.

InSpace supports and uplifts a dynamic portfolio of space-related research projects with national and international significance and catalyses space research across areas including space qualification, bushfire and water resilience, space manufacturing, optical and quantum communications and space research and development. Through targeted funding, Industry and Government collaboration, and community engagement, these programs become our Missions. The outcomes of these Mission align with the Australian Space Agency priority areas and Federal Government priorities in Defence, Home Affairs, and science. Mission Specialists from across disciplines at ANU are applying their world-class expertise to space-related research and the Mission Control team translates that research by building strong partnerships and commercial connections with national and international space agencies and companies.

ANU InSpace is building the next generation of capabilities to provide impact and outcomes for ANU space research and the Australian space sector. ANU hosts $200 million of space infrastructure, consisting of multiple facilities across space qualification – including radiation, optical telescope facilities, advanced instrumentation and fabrication services. The depth and breadth of research includes space communication, exploration and translating space innovation back to Earth. InSpace combines these disciplines with space law, economics, medicine, and the humanities to create strong, sustainable, holistic outcomes.
