Space Situational Awareness (SSA) Capabilities for Launch and Return Support in Australia
Tender ID: 576913
Tender Details
Tender Description
Through this RFI, the agency is aiming to further understand Space Situational Awareness (SSA) capabilities that can support the safety and success of both launch and return operations within Australian areas of responsibility. With a rapidly growing space industry, Australia is poised to be a desired location for both commercial launches and re-entry services, serving both domestic and international parties.
The Agency is encouraging industry experts to provide their valuable insights on how these services can provide tracking, monitoring and risk management required for safe and sustainable space launches and returns to Australia. By gaining an understanding of the SSA capabilities, the Agency can better understand how a secure foundation of capability and infrastructure would support launch and return activities.
Other Instructions:
As part of the RFI, the Agency is interested in mature capabilities that can be trialled in concert with launch or return events, particularly capabilities at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6 or higher. This would require the technology or capability being described to have been tested and verified in an operational environment or an operational-like environment.
Respondents to the Space Capabilities and Services Panel (ATM 2024 0838) who have capability that can support launches and returns will be required to submit interests separately.
