In partnership with UNSW Canberra Space, and with the involvement of an ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) cadet, Cingulan Space has developed and commissioned a new Interferometry Receiver to increase Australia’s space domain awareness (SDA). The SDA receiver located at Cingulan Space’s Yass Station is designed to receive a signal...
Throughout the year, Cingulan Space has been supporting an amazing group of young STEM students from Yass High School in the CSIRO Generation STEM program. The program is a first of its kind in Yass and the region. Cingulan Space staff provided the STEM students with guidance, support and mentorship...
Cingulan Space is proud to have commissioned its third satellite ground station, in the north of Australia. Our strategic location in the Northern Territory complements our east-coast and west-coast ground station locations, and is key to providing the best access to spacecraft orbits in Australia. Immediately on commissioning, the ground...
What an exhilarating end to Science Week at Berinba Public School! We had the absolute pleasure of guiding students through designing, building, and launching their very own rockets for the Blast Off competition. The energy and ingenuity of these young minds were awe-inspiring. It’s safe to say that we may...
Cingulan Space is thrilled to be supporting Equatorial Launch Australia (ELA) at their Arnhem Space Centre (ASC) for Australia’s first-ever commercial space launch. ELA’s client is NASA, who will be launching no less than three sub-orbital rockets to conduct astrophysics studies of deep space. Cingulan Space is providing technical support...
We’re thrilled to share this video explaining our partnership with Deakin University’s Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI). Last year Deakin University partnered with Cingulan Space to assist us with a complex research problem through a student research placement. PhD student Mohammad Reza Chalak Qazani was selected for...
The University of Canberra and Cingulan Space are collaborating on a project to transition satellite ground station control to a cloud-based platform. PhD student Alexander Okon will work with Cingulan for three months to develop a prototype cloud-based Software Defined Radio system. This initiative aims to address real-life challenges and...
Cingulan Space is collaborating with the ARC Centre for Automated Manufacture of Advanced Composites at the Australian National University (ANU) to demonstrate world-leading advanced manufacturing capability for the global Space, Aerospace and Defence sectors. A recently completed project utilised a world-first robotic dual-head laser tape placement system (AFPT GmbH), based...
Last week, we had the fantastic opportunity to meet some enthusiastic space kids at Yass Early Childhood Centre for National Simultaneous Storytime. Sharing our passion for STEM with the next generation is always a blast, and this time was no exception! The 4-year-olds blew us away with their incredibly sharp...
As part of National Science Week ACT 2020, we’re excited to have participated in this “Satellite Selfie” initiative. With a little help from us, the kids at Berinba Public School came out in force on the school oval to give the satellite something to photograph! They chose a “deep blue...
