Abstract: The Australian Space Discovery Centre was established in May 2021 forming an integral part of the Australian Space Agency’s vision to transforming Australia’s role in space and to grow the Australian space sector by adding 20,000 additional jobs and tripling the size of the space sector GDP by 2030. This ambition outlined in the Civil Space Strategy shapes the mission of the Discovery Centre to engage and inspire the nation through stories about how space affects our everyday lives, Australia’s unique strengths and capabilities in space, and the broad range of career pathways available in the space industry. With a gallery full of interactive exhibits, a careers wall featuring Australian stories and Australia’s first publicly viewable Mission Control Centre, come along to the Australian Space Discovery Centre and learn about how the Agency is shaping the future of space in Australia.
