Site Tour 1: Site Visit To University Of Adelaide Centre For Sustainable Planetary And Space Resources

Site Visit to University of Adelaide Centre for Sustainable Planetary and Space Resources to learn how the Centre embark on research projects for long-term life support for survival in space and on the moon. The Centre for Sustainable Planetary and Space Resources brings together the University of Adelaide’s collective exploration, mining, manufacturing and engineering research strengths to address the challenges faced by long term planetary exploration, while ensuring the near-term application here on Earth. The In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) concept, as pioneered by NASA, looks to address space exploration’s historic reliance on Earth-based materials by proposing an off-world, self-contained resource chain covering the exploration, extraction and utilisation of space-based resources in support of new long-term crewed exploration missions.

Site Tour 2: Site Visit To A Space Research Facility And CubeSat Manufacturing Facility In Adelaide

Site Visit to a Space Research Facility in South Australia, to view how microgravity viable satellite platforms can enable Space Biology & Chemistry Research, helping researchers to understand behavioural changes of microorganisms in space, predict mutations and develop new drugs and medications.

Site Tour 3: Site Visit To CSIRO’s Waite Campus In Adelaide

Join us in this site visit to CSIRO’s Waite Campus in Adelaide, learn more about CISRO Manufacturing and its optical systems for satellites (confirming).
