I was able to get an interview with the Deputy Premier of South Australia - Hon. Susan Close!

We managed to nerd out and chat all about the Australian Space Industry, orbital sustainability and what the industry will look like for the future of South Australia.

I had a chat with Brian Lim the CEO of Dandelions where we discussed the Gyrochute and the overall capability of this new technology.

The Gyrochute represents a new way to establish communications in a post natural disaster scenario and a new way of bringing experiments home from the International Space Station.

In February 2021, Australia signed an agreement with the UK to form a Space Bridge strengthening ties between our two countries.

The Space Bridge Framework Arrangement focuses on areas such as:

• Government-to-government collaboration on space programs and technology

• Trade and investment, including commercial contracts and collaboration

• Research and education

For this livestream, I will be speaking with Tracy Thompson the Chair of Open Universities Space Society.

We will be discussing:

• Her journey to set up the OU Space Society: from Plastics Engineer to society chair

• What the space bridge might mean in terms of research and education between Australia and the UK

• How her other interests in fusion energy and forensic science/criminology have shaped her new interest in Astronomy and Planetary Science During the livestream

In 2021 the possibility of Aussienauts became very real with the announcement of an MoU between Saber Astronautics and Axiom Space to provide access to the International Space Station on the new and privately owned, Axiom Space Station. Dr Jason Held is the CEO of Saber Astronautics who headed up this agreement and during this livestream we will explore how this all came about and what this means for Australia

In October 2019, I met and interviewed Adam Gilmour the CEO of Gilmour Space Technologies. Since then I have wanted to return to find out more about what is happening at Gilmour Space Technologies - I was lucky enough to get a chance to get a face-to-face interview Peter Kinne in October 2021. Oh….and watch for the moment where I manage to invent a completely new word.

n November 2021 I gained an opportunity to interview Jackie Carpenter and what is happening behind the scenes of One Giant Leap Australia.

On the 24th of October 2021, a documentary To the Stars was shown at the New Farm Five Star Cinemas all about the early years of Gilmour Space Technologies and their creation of the One Vision rocket. We will be sharing our experiences and impressions of the documentary with you as it will only have a limited showing around Queensland.

So much has happened on Mars since Perseverance Rover landed earlier this year and I am getting a chance to speak about all of what's been happening with the President of the Mars Society Australia - Jon Clarke. We will be talking all about what has been happening with the rovers on the Red Planet: - Perseverance - Ingenuity AND - Zhurong

Flying a drone on Mars is a MASSIVE achievement for the people at NASA and JPL. In this livestream, I will use my extensive background in the drone industry to explain why this is the ULTIMATE in autonomous flight! This is the first time this will be done as a a simultaneous event on both YouTube and Facebook.

In September 2020, I interviewed Nick Green the CEO of PFi Aerospace.

This is the extended interview originally played for the Space Association of Australia September 2020 meeting.

She is a well versed speaker, space fashion icon and is an advocate of STEM. Vienna is inspiring the next generation getting them excited about how they too can get involved in the burgeoning Australian space industry.

The launch of Rocket Lab’s Make It Rain which happened on the 29 June 2019. It was the seventh launch of their Electron Rocket successfully delivering multiple cubesats to low Earth orbit further proving the reliability of one of the newest launch vehicles in the market. On board was an AUSTRALIAN MADE cubesat proving the capability of students from the Melbourne Space Program!!!

MARCH 2020: Australia has a very surprising history in Space. We have been involved in the Space business for a very long time. In this episode I am taking a closer look at our involvement over the decades with a top 10 list of historical and no-so-historical missions Australia has been involved in through the Deep Space Network.

It has been a fun and wonderful journey over 2019! I have certainly been to places and met wonderful and generous people. When I started out, I NEVER thought this year would turn out the way it did and I am ever so grateful for the experiences I've had.

I caught up with John Moody from the Moody Space Centre to hear all about his AMAZING news about launching rockets from Rockhampton in Queensland, Australia!
