The Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research (ACSER) was launched at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in November 2010. The centre aims to assist in the Federal Government's push to increase Australia's capabilities in the space industry.
The centre will build on existing UNSW strengths of satellite navigation, earth observation, and hypersonics, and can draw on the huge expertise of Australia's largest Engineering faculty. UNSW is participating in five Australian Space Research Program (ASRP) projects.
