The 10th Australian Space Development Conference is being held from July 21 to 23 at the Adelaide Hilton in South Australia. The ASDC attracts national and international speakers to discuss recent developments in the space industry in Australia and overseas. Government, industry and research institutions come together to share knowledge, network and develop plans to take the Australian space industry forward. Domestic speakers include Senator Annette Hurley, chair of the Senate Space Inquiry, Brett Biddington from Cisco Systems and Professor John Zillman from the Global Climate Observing System. Some of the international companies sending speakers are Intelsat, Orbital Sciences Corporation, United Launch Alliance, COM DEV, Thales Alenia Space and Arianespace.
This year, a former BLUEsat executive member, Anthony Wicht, is co-chairing the conference. A strong national space industry helps groups like BLUEsat by developing a network of companies and individuals who can assist us, and giving our team work opportunities when they graduate. If you are involved with the space industry in Australia or overseas, you should consider attending and we look forward to seeing you there. More information is available at the ASDC website. |
