The iLAuNCH Trailblazer program is set to transform satellite communications by developing optical technology to ease pressure on Australia's radio-based systems. 

Two-thirds of Australians believe scientists should actively advocate for specific policies, while more than 60 per cent want scientists to play a larger role in shaping policy, according to a global study released by the Australian National University.

In a new project by iLAuNCH Trailblazer, the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ), the Australian National University (ANU), and the University of South Australia are partnering with Adelaide-based company Change Climate to assess the potential of a bio-epoxy resin for aerospace applications. 

The latest iLAuNCH Trailblazer project is embarking on a groundbreaking initiative to utilise additive manufacturing technology in the development of large-scale carbon composite structures for rockets.

Professor Timothy Senden has been appointed to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) Board for a three-year term.

The iLAuNCH Trailblazer is vetting Space Machines Company’s Optimus OSV Spacecraft, the largest single Australian-made commercial space transport and servicing platform, before it heads into orbit in early 2024. 

The iLAuNch Trailblazer program is rolling out a project aimed at reducing weight in satellites through the additive manufacturing of lightweight and thermally stable composite structures. 

The Monash Business School has created the Mutual Value Measurement framework in an effort to assist mutual firms in defining their total value, which yielded overwhelmingly positive results following a two-year field research in Australia.

SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), Australia's space research centre, has unveiled the Compact Hybrid Optical-RF User Segment (CHORUS) prototype terminal to create more stable and secured military satellite communications at the 15th Australian Space Forum.
