🌌💫#SpaceCommand joined the #ADM Congress in Canberra, connecting with #DefenceIndustry & government leaders on Australia's space capabilities. Discussions on domain priorities & future tech were informative. Together, we look forward to advancing Australia's space future!

🚀#SpaceCommand featured on 7News recently. Since the command’s inception nearly three years ago, it has been busy working to ensure the security of our nation's interests in space. It's an exciting time for the Australian space sector and #YourADF is proud to be a part of it!

The 2024 Defence Workforce Plan emphasises the need to accelerate and enhance #YourADF’s space capabilities. I look forward to our Space Command workforce maintaining situational awareness in space and assuring our networks and systems 📡🌌

Recently at #MilCIS, COL Lisa Davidson spoke about the critical role of our future space domain workforce. #YourADF Space Command is excited to explore how space technologies can drive defence innovation and interoperability.

🌌 Recently, Aussies saw the Southern Aurora lit up by a powerful solar flare. While stunning, flares can impact tech we rely on - like comms and GPS. @SpaceCommandAU @AusSpaceOps works with @BOM_au to forecast and mitigate these risks. Space is closer than you think! 🚀🌏

A huge shout out to #YourADF Sergeant Amy Hestermann-Crane who recently represented Space Command at the 2024 Indonesian Women in Security Leadership program. Amy spoke about her experiences within Defence and Space Command as one of our valued analytical team 🇦🇺 🇮🇩
