点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
