BINAR Space Program
The Binar team launch student-designed and developed hardware into low-earth orbit onboard cube satellites.
Desert Fireball Network (DFN)
Led by Dr Ellie Sansom, the DFN team use a network of cameras deployed around Australia to detect fireballs, recover fallen meteors, and uncover their origins.
Impact Modelling
Led by Associate Professor Katarina Miljkovic, this project aims to investigate the structure of earth’s crust in Australian impact crater sites, impact crater morphologies on Mars, and expand our understanding of the origins of our solar system.
Machine Learning for Planetary Geology
Led by Professor Gretchen Benedix, this work applies machine learning techniques and convolutional neural networks to analyse planetary science images.
Sample Return
Enabled by the world-class facilities of the John de Laeter Centre, SSTC scientists conduct work on space material recovered by sample return missions.
