The Australian Space Agency was established in July 2018 to coordinate the country's civil space activities. Its primary goal is to support the growth of the Australian space industry, enhance international collaboration, and promote the use of space technology for various applications, including environmental monitoring and disaster management. The agency works with various stakeholders, including government bodies, industry partners, and research institutions, to develop a national space strategy. It aims to increase Australia's share of the global space economy and inspire future generations to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
