Slide 2
Sydney SpaceNet Vision: Link, extend, and leverage the
University's existing space-related capabilities with Space
Industry & Government (i) USyd national player, (ii) national
benefits Foci: Earth Observations from Space (EOS) & related
scientific, engineering, agriculture, environmental, food security
& economic issues (sustainability, tech, safeguarding) Themes:
- (1) instruments, spacecraft, & robotics (2) advanced
EOS-focus geophysical & environmental models (3) better use of
Space-derived data (e.g., EOS, GIS, GNSS, and triple-bottom-line
accounting / space weather / hazards). Build Community:
cross-Faculty & university, industry, Govt Industry links &
development, including startups (e.g., delta-V) Modify national
environment: sats in space, Centres, legislation
Slide 3
SpaceNet People / Management Aspects Dr Eleanor Bruce
(Geosciences) is the new Deputy Network Leader. Active SpaceNet
program will proceed in 2015 while Iver is on SSP in the USA.
SpaceNet renewed by University for 2015 with requested budget.
Slide 4
Community Building / National 8 SpaceNet Lunch & Tea events
robotics space industry Chinese grasslands. Clear engagement with
industry... Paris, Peter,... 3 Workshops national attention from
EOS community reports Media stories: CeBIT, Space Angels, delta-V,
aurora....

FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT Quantitative assessment
of the relative role of climate change and human activities in
grassland degradation: Application of a satellite tracking system
Inakwu O.A. Odeh With Professor J Li and Team from Nanjing
University Department of Environmental Sciences Presentation for
the Space SyReN (University of Sydney); November 18, 2014
Slide 6
Community Building / National II CeBIT ICT tradeshow: Created
delta-V Strong engagement / PR CRC / Industry Transform. Hub /
Growth Centre discussions... UNSW... International EOS figures
(e.g., A. Skidmore, Twente) approaching SpaceNet Space Act likely
joint approach to modify... Nascent funding proposals
Slide 7
Theme I: Spacecraft, instruments, systems... i-INSPIRE being
re-integrated for full testing Revised Nanospec and new Radiation
Counter ready Looking for new launch & associated funding
c-INSPIRE cubesat version next highest priority: First Aust
sole-uni spacecraft Govt & industry wants us (& Aust) put
run on board QB50 spacecraft (INSPIRE-2) just passed Critical
Design Review (CDR)... 2015 / 2016 launch Longterm plan &
funding needs identified.
Slide 8
Radiation Counter for i-INSPIRE (leader Joe Khachan) < 14 g,
about 3 x 2 x 1 cm Counts radiation... also helps constrain orbit
& location DSTO interested in adding this to Buccaneer
Slide 9
Spacecraft, instruments, systems... Plasma thruster (Joe
Khachan David Dall vital) Invention documents agreed & signed
with DSTO DSTO license agreement close to being signed Uni has
agreed to support patent application
Slide 10

delta-V Cubesat Platform Vision Validating payloads &
businesses is a key problem. We will create a Reference Platform
for vehicle, launch, and flights. 2. Frequent launch / deploy [At
least quarterly, commercial timescale] 1. Standardized multi-tenant
payload platform [Designed for low-risk, high-reliability across a
wide range of missions] 3. Spaceflight Mission operations [Member
of, contributor to International CubeSat groundstation
network]
Slide 15
Industry Links - delta V MoU signed Corporate structure under
discussion Active engagement with venture capitalists &
industry (Nanoracks.. re vision & funds required Offer of
$500,000 to fund first launch in play... Some NSW Dept T & I
matching funds... New Commonwealth scheme ? History? 1 st time Aust
space entity approached by international company to do a beyond LEO
comms project.... Feasibility study currently.
Slide 16
Future (2015) Workshop on Coastal / Marine EOS for Feb 2015.
Program of Workshops & Lunch / Tea events will be developed
please volunteer. Build, support, & expand the SpaceNet
community. Very exciting time Develop & launch of EOS-focused
space projects & technology: c-INSPIRE, QB50, thruster,... 1 st
