The world's biggest space event is coming to Sydney!
Thank you to the @iafastro. We look forward to working together and saying G’day to the global space sector for #IAC in 2025.
This achievement wouldn't have been possible without @spaceindustryoz, @InvestmentNSW and @BESydney

Ignatius Rivaldi from @ACSERUNSW has been working on adapting the Kea GPS receivers so that they can be used for performing GPS reflectometry on CUAVA-2.
Received SNR has been improved, power consumption lowered, EMI reduced and usability improved.

Kanyini incorporates a HyperScout 2 hyperspectral scanner operating in a 'push broom' configuration, says Nadia Sarunic from the @SmartSatCRC
It will perform on-board processing to detect bushfires.

A charge exchange thruster (CXT) is a novel thruster technology that will be tested on CUAVA-2.
Prof Iver Cairns presents on behalf of Richard Bowde-Reid and Joe Khachan, who were unable to attend.
A special magnetically levitated thrust balance was built to test it

Shagun Aggawal is an @ACSERUNSW PhD candidate working on an electrodynamic tether to be used to de-orbit CUAVA-2. The @SaberAstro DragEN tether is
between 30 - 50 m in length. Correct deployment is critical if it is to be successful.

CROSS is a star-tracker that will be flown on CUAVA-2. University of Sydney PhD candidate Joshua Critchley-Marrows explains at #Cubesat2022 how star-trackers are specialised payloads with limited global suppliers. There are only 2 global suppliers of the required coatings .
