Vertically Integrated Projects
ACSER’s work is in three areas relevant to space: satellite navigation, small spacecraft design, and space resources. With Australia’s space industry growing rapidly, experience in actual space projects will assist graduates seeking those highly competitive roles. We have already seen our interns placed in senior space positions around the globe.
