UNSW Canberra current academic staff experience in space science and engineering sums collectively to several decades, and includes direct involvement in and (in some cases) leadership of significant planetary, orbital and sub-orbital flight missions such as Rosetta, BepiColumbo, HyCAUSE and SCRAMSPACE. Dedicated space engineering flight and space research postdoc teams now support the research, reporting to and supervised by UNSW Canberra's space-related academic staff.
