## Resource

In this special episode, what's happening in Australia's space industry? Between Australia's first lunar rover, and putting plants on the moon (this year!), we'll take a peek behind the curtain. Space technology is having a moment right now. NASA’s Artemis mission is the first time humans have launched themselves into space since 1972. The 2026 Australian of the Year, Katherine Bennell-Pegg, is an astronaut. So, what does our local space industry look like right now? And where is it headed? GUESTS: Professor Andy Koronios -- Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the Australasian Space Innovation Institute . Dr Lauren Fell -- outreach and marketing specialist at Lunar Outpost Oceania , co-lead of the ELO2 industry consortium building Roo-ver . She's also a director at Lunaria One , who is putting plants on the moon. ------------ This episode was produced on the lands of the Burramattagal people. ------------ Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!
