This project aims to transform the Zadko Observatory to a Space Surveillance Hub in Western Australia that will be used by major national and international users and commercial partners. It would replace the current infrastructure of the Observatory, and its instrumentation with modern equipment. This project would achieve the transformation of the existing facility to a space surveillance hub for a fraction of the nominal cost of a new hub, by leveraging on previous financial investments. Expected outcomes of this project is an improvement of the contribution of the facility to Australia’s strategic Space Programme specifically for space situational awareness and deep space imaging.

该项目旨在将Zadko天文台转变为西澳大利亚州的空间监视中心，供主要的国内和国际用户和商业伙伴使用。它将用现代设备取代天文台目前的基础设施及其仪器。该项目将利用以前的财政投资，以新中心名义费用的一小部分将现有设施改造为空间监测中心。该项目的预期成果是改进该设施对澳大利亚战略空间方案的贡献，特别是空间态势感知和深空成像。
