Another group Obelisk Systems is one of Australia’s first space hardware startups and developed the Asimov hardware platform which will be used in the mission. This is a congregation of the right expertise, both hardware and software layers, as well as the business and Government assistance necessary to turn it into a reality. This really is an exciting success story for Australia one we’ll likely look back on in the future and point to as a pivotal moment in Australia’s space history.
