Australian Space Agency is Australia's national space agency and a policy, coordination, and funding body under the Department of Industry, Science and Resources.[1] It was founded on 1 July 2018 and is headquartered at Lot Fourteen in Adelaide, with Enrico Palermo serving as head from January 2021.[2] For Earth observation buyers, the important boundary is that the agency does not operate or own EO satellites as of 20 June 2026.[3][4] Australia's National Space Mission for Earth Observation, a planned $1.2 billion programme for four cross-calibration radiometer satellites, was cancelled and replaced by a $207 million Landsat Next contribution focused on data analytics rather than Australian-owned spacecraft.[3][5]
