Space Data Begin your space journey here Data collected by space-borne, Earth-orbit monitoring equipment, such as satellites and space shuttles, is known as ‘space data’, and is a rapidly expanding resource. Space data’s applications are vast. Discover what space data can do for you. WHAT IS SPACE DATA? ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Space Data Driving innovation with space data We enable Australian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and researchers to accelerate innovation in their products and services by supporting space data and technologies access. SPACE DATA USE CASES ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ASDAF Services Enhance your capabilities We offer access to space data, specialized analytics tools, expert training, and collaboration opportunities to accelerate Australia's innovation and growth. We can work with your team to develop the best solutions for your needs. OUR SERVICES ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Accelerating Innovation

The Australian Space Data Analysis Facility (ASDAF) has been established to enhance Australian SMEs’ and researchers’ ability to use space data, particularly earth observation data, in multi-pathway strategies.

If you are interested in space data but don’t know where to start or have space data but don’t have the resources or know-how to use them, ASDAF can work with your team to develop the best solutions for your needs.
