For more than a decade at UNSW Sydney, the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Researc (ACSER) has provided leadership in Australian space engineering research.
Striving to foster collaboration between research, industry and government we seek to nurture links between our national and international partners to achieve Australia's space ambitions. Our goal is to develop space capabilities relevant to Australia's needs through research, innovation and education.
ACSER engages and connects through regular forums, workshops and events. We bring together the niche, and the not so niche, to encourage and facilitate future partnerships and collaborations so that Australia can secure and grow our place in space.

CubeSatPlus2025

22-23 July 2025 | UNSW Sydney | Kensington Campus

Join us at CubeSatPlus 2025, the landmark 10th in-person workshop celebrating ten years of innovation, collaboration, and groundbreaking advancements in the Australasian CubeSat community.

Over the past decade, we've witnessed a remarkable evolution in Australian cubesats/smallsats—from educational and research tools to the commissioned commercial and government platforms shaping our space landscape today.

In celebration of this remarkable journey, the 2025 workshop adopts the theme “Crowning the Decade: Pioneering New Orbits,” highlighting the milestones, growth, and advancements achieved over the past ten years. The event will gather leading researchers, government representatives, and industry experts to showcase the latest innovations and inspire the next chapter of progress in space technology.

For Sponsorship Opportunities, please get in touch with us here.

More information on speakers and the program will be available soon, so please watch this space or stay in touch with us on LinkedIn.
