Launching the future of space one student at a time!
Adelaide University Satellite and Telemetry (AUSAT) is a student society giving Adelaide University students hands-on, interdisciplinary experience in satellite engineering, telemetry, and ground station operations. Membership is open to students from any degree or discipline (no prior technical experience required!) with project teams spanning mechanical, electrical, software/firmware, and ground station operations, alongside finance and marketing/media roles for students interested in the operational side.
Our core initiative is building a functional ground station (targeted for mid-2027) and the design, construction, and launch of a student-built CubeSat (late-2028). We have also established an international partnership with both the University of Tartu and Tallinn University's Estonian Student Satellite Foundation — a student-peer international partnership working toward a co-operated global ground station network. Activities include weekly project meetings, monthly sub-project progress updates, technical workshops, and outreach events showcasing our members’ capabilities to the wider university community.
We hope to attract students genuinely curious about space systems: engineers wanting real project experience, but also students from non-technical backgrounds interested in the policy, communications, and operational sides of a space mission.
