Our facilities

Personalise

�ʹڲ�Ʊ Canberra Space is a world-class team of engineers and scientists shaping Australia's direction and capability in the space sector. Our facilities enable us to operate missions from start to finish.

The Australian National Concurrent Design Facility (ANCDF)

The centrepiece of �ʹڲ�Ʊ Canberra Space is Australia’s first space mission concurrent engineering design facility.

Cleanroom

A tiny speck of dust has the potential to cause major issues for spacecraft. Our Class 10,000 cleanroom provides a pristine environment for the development, integration and build of our satellites and various subsystems.

Optical Telescope Observatories

�ʹڲ�Ʊ Canberra Space has access to a network of remotely operable, research-grade observatories, used predominantly for space domain awareness and asteroid tracking.

�ʹڲ�Ʊ Canberra Space’s “Goliath” S-band antenna

Satellite Ground Stations

�ʹڲ�Ʊ Canberra Space is equipped with two satellite ground stations that enable us to communicate with our spacecraft. One is located on campus, while a larger industrial-grade satellite is positioned just outside the ACT border in Yass, hosted by our ground station partner Cingulan Space.
