The Australian Space Agency officially opened its headquarters in Adelaide on February 19, an exciting milestone in its mission to boost economic growth and create jobs. Federal government is committed to boosting Australia`s space industry by 20,000 jobs by 2030 into a $12 billion industry.
Synthesizing the Aussies, the Prime Minister`s Office`s website reports, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said NASA has made significant progress since its inception in July 2018 and is now ready to settle down in the heart of Adelaide`s 14th district. He said:" NASA is at the heart of our national vision of governance to ensure more jobs and a greater share of our growing space economics." Global spatial economics is expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan by 2040. Space has inspired our imagination and inspired us all. It develops new technologies, improves life on Earth, and provides enormous economic and employment opportunities. That`s why we`re investing nearly $700 million in space, including $150 million in Australian companies so they can get more work and support more jobs by working with NASA`s Moon to Mars initiative. "
Karen Andrews, the Federal Ministry of Industry and Technology, also said the opening of the headquarters was another opportunity for the Aussie to present a huge opportunity. "Australia`s space agency has grown stronger since we founded it," she said. I am confident that we will continue to take advantage of this momentum. The aerospace industry will also create access to new supply chains for core industries, from manufacturing to mining. "
South Australia is now at the forefront of the nation`s space industry, according to Gov. Steven Marshall. "There is no doubt that we are now the space capital of the country," he said. Just in South Australia, young people from across the state have the opportunity to find incredible jobs across the industry. We have targeted the headquarters of NASA, the Smart Satellite Centre, the Mission Control Centre and the Space Exploration Centre. Young South Australians can look up at the stars and find opportunities to pursue their dreams in South Australia. "
Megan Clark, the director of Australia`s space agency, stressed that the agency`s headquarters is a solid foundation for its development and transformation of the Australian space industry. "We are delighted to have a new home in downtown Adelaide and we are looking forward to the development of the Australian Space Exploration Centre and Mission Control Centre," he said. I would like to thank our team for all their efforts to build our new facilities on time and on budget, and we look forward to the construction of the Australian Space Exploration Centre and Mission Control Center, which will open next year. "
The Block 14, which is based at NASA`s headquarters, also houses other space industry participants, including SmartSat, CRC and CSIRO.
