We speak with Dr Catherine Grace, Director at the South Australian Space Industry Centre.

In an Australian first, South Australian-owned and manufactured satellite Kanyini was successfully launched today onboard SpaceX’s Transporter-11 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA.

Kanyini is the first State Government-funded satellite in the nation and was built by a local team of South Australian-based companies – SmartSat CRC, Inovor and Myriota.

The $6.5 million mission is helping to create hi tech jobs in the state’s space sector and develop vital space capabilities in the State.

Once fully commissioned, Kanyini will deliver critical space data for use by government and research institutions, particularly in the areas of sustainability and climate impacts.
