Tender Details
Tender Description
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: Robotics, Automation and AI Command and Control Centre grant opportunity is an open, competitive grant opportunity that will establish the Robotics, Automation and AI Command and Control Centre in Western Australia. It will be a national facility, with the Australian space industry being a key user of the centre. It is not intended that the Australian Space Agency own or operate the centre.
The grant opportunity will support the development and operation of robotic and remote asset management activities in space, as well as Earth based activities that lead to the development of these capabilities in Australia. This includes:
- robotic operation of on-orbit space assets
- automated command, control and management of robotic activities in space
- on-orbit servicing of satellites
- assisting in the delivery of technology necessary for object handling, manipulation and aassembly of satellite parts, and gateways or off –Earth base construction equipment.
The project period is two years.
