Moon to Mars: opportunities for Australian businesses

The Australian Space Agency is partnering with NASA on its inspiring plan to go back to the Moon and on to Mars. As part of this, the Australian Government is investing $150 million to fuel the growth of Australian businesses so they can succeed in national and international space supply chains, and support NASA’s ambitious campaign.

The Supply Chain capability improvement grants are now open. Grants of between $250,000 and $1 million are available under the five year program. The grants also encourage the application of space capabilities across other high growth industries, such as resources and cyber security.
