Funded Activity Summary

Hypervelocity re-entry. Addressing a critical area of space travel and its practical utilisation it will help expand a key technology niche which will facilitate our involvement in major programs of the future. In international space programs each participant provides a unique technical contribution and shares in the intellectual and economic returns. Educational benefits arise due to the challenging nature of the work, contact with overseas researchers, and through the marketing and development of flight vehicles and associated technology. There will be opportunity for our graduates to be employed in senior positions overseas, and to subsequently return to Australia with advanced skills and facilitate Australian collaboration from positions of influence.
