Australian Space Agency

Former Science minister Michaelia Cash stated it was important to have such a program in place to “ensure we have a strategic long-term plan that supports the development and application of space technologies and grows our domestic space industry”. While specialists and researchers in the area have been pleased to hear the news, advice about the application of these funds has been mixed. Speaking with us we had Alice Goreman, Space archaeologist and senior lecturer at Flinders University .
