Australia is becoming a thriving spaceport ecosystem.🚀✅ In February, the first return of a commercial payload from space to an Australian commercial site—the W-2 Varda space capsule housing in-space manufactured pharmaceuticals—shone a spotlight on Australia’s growth as a testbed for new space vehicles. From curing diseases, manufacturing new materials, reducing flight times across the Atlantic to a matter of hours, and moving cargo in reduced timeframes, Australia is uniquely positioned to pioneer this transition.💡 With private companies driving advances, the Australian government has played an indispensable role in commercialising space. The Australian Space Agency has developed rules making launch and returns both safe and commercially sustainable. “Austrade has attracted global space companies to Australia and helped Australian space companies find global customers,” says Anthony Weymouth, Head of Technology, Defence and Space at Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade). Australia possesses a rare combination of assets.🌏 Our expansive, sparsely populated interior provides ideal landing zones that minimise risk to infrastructure and people, combines with our stable political environment and established technological expertise.
