Areas of work

Research across space science and supporting technologies.

The centre's official profile describes work that spans scientific research, instrument and technology development, mission planning and satellite operations.

01

Space physics and space environment

Research into the physical processes and environmental conditions found from near-Earth space to the wider solar system.

02

Microwave remote sensing

Scientific and engineering work involving microwave measurement and remote-sensing technology.

03

Space engineering technology

Development of scientific instruments, information systems and supporting technologies for space research.

04

Space science missions

Planning, development, management and operation of space-science satellite missions and related research programs.

Working with ETI

Research work begins with a defined technical purpose.

ETI works with the National Space Science Center on technical and research matters. For each project, we first define the purpose, participants and information-sharing requirements.

  • Research objective and intended technical result
  • Participating institutions and responsible teams
  • Data, equipment and testing responsibilities
  • Publication, intellectual-property and information-sharing requirements
