Space Researh PhD Scholarships

Scholarship Description

The newly established Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research (ACSER) was launched at the University of New South Wales to increase Australia's capabilities in the space industry. The centre builds on the well established UNSW strengths of satellite navigation, earth observation and hypersonics, and draws on the huge expertise of Australia's largest Engineering faculty. The Australian Space Research Program (ASRP) project "SAR Formation Flying" is based at the centre. Working to user requirements, the project is developing the business case, design and technologies for a constellation of low cost and light-weight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) spacecraft to image the earth at night and in any weather. These will monitor floods in Australia and have application to forest monitoring for carbon accounting, border protection, oil spill detection, agricultural monitoring and ocean surface current mapping.
