Home to the national space agency and more than 100 space companies and organisations, South Australia is playing a pivotal role as Australia ramps up its efforts in the space race.
Lot Fourteen, an innovation district for future-thinking industries in Adelaide’s CBD, houses the Australian Space Agency and Mission Control Centre, along with multinationals and a number of pioneering space startups and businesses. In 2021 the announcement that a satellite, to be built at Lot Fourteen by resident startups and research partners, would be the first to be put into space by an Australian state government, solidified South Australia’s commitment to the industry.
