Australia’s Final Frontier: Inside the Rapid Rise of its Space & Satellite Industry
Australia’s space sector reached A$8 billion in 2023, nearly double its 2018 value, with over 800 organizations and 19,000 employees. The Australian Space Agency targets A$10–12 billion and 30,000 jobs by 2030. Major investments include a new Defence Space Command and multiple launch sites.
