Each mission will be submitted to AAL as a science EOI with the potential for future NCRIS funding.
It takes teamwork to make the dream work. Each team will be given a session to present their mission concept, consisting of 5 talk slots to cover topics such as:
mission overview
astronomy science cases
instrumentation
spacecraft hardware
satellite platforms
data management
industry engagement
astro-tech translation
