Space Infrastructure Fund: Mission Control Centre

Overview

The Space Infrastructure Fund (SIF) is a $19.5 million investment in seven infrastructure projects to drive the growth of Australia’s space sector. The projects form an important element of the Advancing Space: Australian Civil Space Strategy 2019-2028, primarily addressing the ‘National’ pillar to increase capability in the sector. They will be developed in locations across Australia, providing investment in multiple states and territories, and building upon Australia’s National Civil Space Priorities and strengths. The Space Infrastructure Fund: Mission Control Centre grant opportunity is an open, competitive grant opportunity that will award a single grant to establish a mission control centre on the ground floor of the McEwin Building at Lot Fourteen in Adelaide. The mission control centre will complement the new home of the Australian Space Agency and will be closely linked to the Australian Space Discovery Centre (also located on the ground floor of the McEwin building). It is not intended that the Australian Space Agency own or operate the centre. The project period is two years.
