Overview

The Australian Space Agency is seeking information from the sector on Australia’s microgravity and space payload state of the art.

The payloads and experiments in scope include operations under the effects of radiation, isolation, distance from Earth, gravity impacts and environmental impacts including thermal and vacuum.

We are interested in current, planned or feasible science, research, payload development and related industry activities, including commercial spin-offs and products.

Our survey will ask about:

  • your key areas of focus

  • the problem or challenge your activity is addressing

  • the core scientific, technical objectives or industry and commercial outcomes

  • expected outcomes and benefits of your work

  • your collaboration networks

  • the maturity and funding status of your activities

  • details about your payload or experiment’s operations.

Your feedback will help us assess national capabilities and inform evidence-based planning.

We welcome input from industry, academia, government and research organisations, across space and adjacent sectors including:

  • biotech and medical

  • industrial research

  • fundamental sciences

  • education

  • agriculture

  • robotics

  • quantum

  • AI
