The ARC Training Centre for CubeSats, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles and their Applications (CUAVA) is now officially opened by Senator for NSW, Arthur Sinodinos AO.

“This new training centre puts Australia on the world map for advanced manufacturing in the space industries,” Senator Sinodinos said. “The international collaboration between leading universities, government and industry will fundamentally change the capabilities and applications of CubeSats, making the international satellite market more accessible and economical than ever before.”

Senator Sinodinos said the training centre will help to grow Australia’s participation and its burgeoning space industry.
