Launch and Return Down Under
Capitalising on numerous advantages – including an expansive landscape and ease of access to desirable orbits – Australia is growing its reputation as a valuable launch and return destination for the international space community. Southern Launch and Gilmour Space are two companies leading the way with support from our Agency. In this episode, we talk with them about their growing offering of commercial launch and return technologies and services on our shores. Our featured guests for this episode are Amy Featherston (Southern Launch) discussing her company’s operations from South Australia, including a mobile launch rail system and space capsule return collaborations with American company Varda, and Adam Williams (Gilmour Space) discussing his company’s Eris rocket program, with ambitions to launch the first ever Australian-made rocket from Australian soil in Bowen, Queensland.

Our featured guests for this episode are Matthew Suntup (Advanced Navigation) discussing his company’s trailblazing navigation systems, including the LUNA Laser Velocity Sensor which will help Intuitive Machines land on the Moon, and Braeden Borg (Fleet Space Technologies) discussing SPIDER, a small seismic payload that will search the Moon for water ice deposits by recording the natural seismic waves in the lunar subsurface.

Sustainable Space: Made in Australia
Welcome to a brand new season of Outback to Orbit, which comes as we build up to the 2025 International Astronautical Congress (IAC). It's the biggest space industry event on the planet - and this year, it’s happening in Sydney. To mark the occasion, we’re looking at some key space capabilities Australia has to show the world, and we begin with the 2025 IAC theme of 'Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth'. In this episode, we meet some Australian space innovators who've created technologies that help keep valuable space activities safe, efficient, and economically viable for the long-term - plus one company refining how we use space data to improve environmental sustainability on Earth. Our featured guests for this episode are Paddy Neumann (Neumann Space) discussing the Neumann Drive electric spacecraft thruster fuelled by metal, Julia Mitchell (Space Machines Company) discussing in-orbit spacecraft servicing and the Space MAITRI mission, William Crowe (HEO) discussing non-Earth imaging cameras that monitor objects and activities in space, and Venkat Pillay (LatConnect 60 / LC60 AI) discussing how to make insights from Earth observation satellite data more useful and affordable. We also kick things off with a quick history lesson on IAC from the Agency's resident space historian Kerrie Dougherty.
