Overview
The Australian Space Summit & Awards was back for its third consequetive year at the International Convention Centre Sydney and The Star Casino to provide an opportunity to showcase Australia’s space capabilities.
As part of the Australian Space Data Analysis Facility (ASDAF), nominated for “Earth Observation Program of the Year”, I had the opportunity to fly over to Sydney.
