Why is doing stuff in space so hard? 😓Its remote and extreme conditions are beyond anything we experience here on Earth. But Australia’s scale and range of environments from Antarctic to our deserts is a great training ground

Mars is on the opposite side of the Sun from the Earth at the moment, and we are using the opportunity to study the environment near the Sun (solar corona) by observing the radio signal from Mars Express. esa.int/Science_Explor…

Catchy news headlines and good publicity for a funeral home, but I hope that most people realise that turning their loved ones into part of our growing space junk problem is not a great way to honour them. 9news.com.au/national/space…

Don’t Look Up! Final day of the Australian Space Domain Awareness conference at UNSW Canberra. University of Tasmania Guifré Molera Calvés on the panel for a very interesting discussion on detecting near-earth asteroids.

It was great to experience Nihonbashi Space week and to talk satellite communications and space domain awareness with Japanese friends. The JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) lunar rover is amazing. #Japan #Space #UTas

First interferometric fringes to the AuScope VLBI Yarragadee 12m antenna at 6.7 GHz! What does that mean? Great opportunities and capability for geodesy and astronomy. Thanks to Brett, Jamie, Lucas, Warren, Lucia, Jim, Mark and many, many others

It’s hard to believe that it was a year ago that we had the opening of the Tasmanian 7.3-meter tracking station. So many things have happened since then!

Congratulations to our friends at Intuitive Machines on their successful launch last week and we're wishing them well as they attempt the first successful commercial lunar landing with Odysseus. tinyurl.com/46ex2ysf
