Australian Space: Neumann Drive, Space Startups and Cube Satellites
At this special Science Party meeting, we'll have three speakers from the Australian industry. Come along and hear about the Neumann Drive which will be tested at the International Space Station, Delta-V which is Australia's first space startup accelerator, and about Cube Satellites with their cost-saving potential that can make entering the space industry orders of magnitude cheaper.
