Antennas & Satellites

The ICT Centre is CSIRO's national research hub for developing innovative information and communication technologies. These technologies are applied to Australia across the breadth CSIRO’s engagement with industry and society.

We are developing technologies in information and communication – to maximise the outcomes for industry and society.

When the Americans eventually send a manned mission to Mars, the whole world will be able to watch ‘live’ television coverage of the event courtesy of CSIRO know-how.

CSIRO scientists with the Minerals Down Under National Research Flagship are working closely with industry and government to develop vastly improved navigation technology for remote areas.

Clever statistical methods are being applied to satellite imagery to improve environmental knowledge and management.

CSIRO Office of Space Science and Applications (COSSA) coordinates and promotes CSIRO’s projects in space science and Earth observation, including the management of remote sensing data.

Whether it's learning about  the daily behaviour of tuna or the changing circulation patterns of an entire ocean basin, marine observing technologies are essential for understanding our marine environment.

CSIRO develops applications that make use of remote sensing data to help spot bushfires in remote areas, predict the weather and map land, vegetation and oceans.

In this video, CSIRO shows that self-repairing spacecraft are not simply the stuff of science fiction. (4:16)

The concept of Sentinel Asia is to provide online information from Earth observation satellites in ‘near real-time’ through a network of webGIS services such as the Australian Sentinel Hotspots system. (0.31 secs)

As a member of the project team working on the Square Kilometre Array, Mr Aaron Chippendale is bringing us a step closer to learning the secrets of life, the universe and everything.

As International SKA Project Engineer, CSIRO astronomer and engineer Dr Peter Hall is helping Australia play a leadership role in the development of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the next generation radio telescope.

This brochure details how CSIRO is addressing the security and counter-terrorism issues facing Australia with dedicated research and development programs to protect Australia from terrorism, crime, invasive diseases and pests and threats to our civil infrastructure. (6 pages)

The June 2005 issue of Livestock horizons magazine focusses on farm technology and redesigning agriculture.

CSIRO and partner institutions are building a major new radio telescope, the Australian SKA Pathfinder. Positions are now available with this exciting project.
