Melbourne Space Program is a not-for-profit organisation, with the aim to launch the next generation of technology pioneers. We use space technology as a vehicle to discover passion, build experience and deliver solutions to industry. The program moves towards establishing itself as a leader in space-related issues and a pioneer of progress within the space industry – and in doing so, endeavours to demonstrate what Australia as a nation can accomplish in space.

MSP Solution

The Melbourne Space Program offers a flexible, customisable development pathway that enables participants to experience a spectrum of professional roles and develop industry-relevant professional skills across engineering, business, communications and legal workstreams. Supplementing a student’s studies, this approach is designed to enable participants to undertake end-to-end projects which require the complex problem-solving, application of technical skills and the development of soft-skills as students operate in a best practice environment on projects such as the ACRUX-1 satellite. Students are supported by a network of mentors from leading companies who teach the best engineering and business practice in a Scrum and DevOps environment conducive to agile principles. The result is a job-ready workforce equipped to support the nascent space sector and broader technology sectors in Australia.
