A/AA & Swinburne Space Industry Virtual Conference Series 

Mon 22 Mar 2021 (3:00 pm - 4:30 pm)

Space Materials 

Industry Sponsor: Thales Australia 

Like the internet, the space domain underpins many essential services to everyday life and is a critical part of the international infrastructure. The A/AA & Swinburne Space Industry Virtual Conference Series aims to develop the conversation with a wider audience beyond the traditional space and defence sector, and build knowledge across the government/industry enterprise. 

The past decade, the space industry has seen a shift in how it does business with private enterprise. The space industry has been looking into ways to reduce material costs and qualify new materials, while reducing the amount of time it takes from product design to final launch. Companies are trying to do this while maintaining high quality builds. The forth of A/AA & Swinburne Space Industry Virtual Conference Series will focus on Space Materials.
                                                                                               
Swinburne University of Technology is at the forefront of collaboration with Australian companies embarking on the space race. Swinburne is recognised for its capabilities in space-related disciplines including  astrophysics, data analytics and visualisation, AI, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing and human factors.
