We have a long and successful history in the space sector from radio astronomy research, managing complex facilities and observing Earth from above to supporting data and manufacturing supply chains.
For more than 60 years we've been a world leader in radio astronomy: managing observatories, developing new technologies and revealing the structure of the Universe.
We're building a next-generation radio telescope in remote Western Australia and playing a leading role in developing the world's largest observatory.
For more than 50 years we've been working with NASA and other international space agencies at the forefront of space science. We're currently supporting more than 30 space missions.
Our Earth observation and informatics capabilities underpin our wide array of Earth observation-related science and applications.
Our partnerships with industry support supply chains via imaging and sensor technologies through to autonomous robotics and new materials and manufacturing processes.
Our astronomy education programs are supporting teachers and inspiring students to learn about science and the Universe.
See astronomy and space exploration in action, look around exhibitions, catch a movie, take in great views, and lots more, at our telescope visitors centres.

From the first steps on the Moon to the edge of the Solar System, we've been working with NASA. In September 2017, the CSIRO-managed Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex was the prime tracking station for the end of Cassini's mission at Saturn.
We've developed a specialised 'camera' for our newest radio telescope that dramatically increases how quickly it can survey the sky, and offers enormous potential for other rapid-imaging applications.
Our alliance with Boeing entices the brightest minds to advance innovation in space sciences, advanced materials, energy and direct manufacturing. Together we have delivered a range of technological breakthroughs.
