Transforming the Zadko Observatory into a Space Surveillance Hub

该项目旨在将扎德科天文台转变为西澳大利亚州的一个空间监测中心，供主要国家和国际用户及商业伙伴使用。它将取代目前的观测站基础设施，并以现代设备取代其仪器。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实现现有设施向空间监测中心的转变。这一项目的预期成果是，该设施将进一步促进澳大利亚的战略空间方案，特别是空间态势感知和深空成像方案。

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.
