OVERVIEW
A second space race has kicked off, only this time the drive is more commerce than Cold War. This long awaited industrial boom has opened the doors to triple-tiered innovation between government, industry, and academia, and has once again put Australia on the international stage.
Why Anchoram?
No longer the exclusive domain of governments, New Space has opened the doors for a thriving private space industry. As a designated national critical infrastructure with little opportunity for redundancy, it is vital that designers and operators of space technologies take security and technology architecture seriously.
In the latest race to space, Australia has invested heavily in building a sovereign space capability, including manufacturing, launch, and operations. This burgeoning industry is leaping forwards at a staggering rate, leaving a significant lag in the capacity and capability of space industry experts to support the rapid growth.
Anchoram is one of the few consultancies globally who can provide certifiable expertise for Space Technology clients seeking to ensure the security of both ground and space based components. Our team consists of specialists from both military and civilian backgrounds, with our Critical Infrastructure Lead being at the forefront of industry-leading space engineering research.
