The Australian space industry is expanding rapidly. From hosting a new NASA deep space communication complex near Canberra, to taking delivery of 4.6 billion-year-old asteroid specimens from Japan’s Hayabusa 2 to nurturing rocket start-ups for the satellite industry and beyond.
We advise on all aspects of space and satellite regulation and we have a dedicated team focussed on the development of the space industry and related financing models, opportunities and developments.
Our space sector experts also play an active role in the space sector dialogue, and we’ve been engaging with government, start-ups and corporate clients, including Telstra and the Department of Defence on the extension of life of the C1 satellite.
