Thales Alenia Space and Thales Australia have announced their sponsorship of a new Masters degree program in satellite systems engineering at the University of New South Wales.

The two-year Masters program, to be offered at the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research at UNSW, will be optimised for Australia’s strategic and commercial interests, and will deliver a comprehensive understanding of satellite systems and their numerous applications.

Chris Jenkins, Thales Australia’s CEO, said the sponsorship added to the momentum of space industry growth in Australia.

“It is clear that space-related technologies, especially relating to satellites and their use in communications and earth observation, will become of growing importance to Australia,” he said.

“As a result, the space industry here will continue to grow over the coming years.

“It is vital to have the right infrastructure in place to support the industry, and programs such as this will ensure we develop the skills necessary to capitalise on future public and private investments in space.”
