The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has advised the Standing Committee of Industry, Innovation, Science and Resources, as part of its inquiry into developing Australia’s space industry that there are warranted reasons for Australia, to have its own national space capability. Fronting the committee on Wednesday, CSRIO executive director of digital, national facilities and collections David Williams said CSIRO’s advice is that if Australia wants access to timely data, it would be only possible if the country owned its own satellites.
