The ultimate high ground: Australia’s role in the space domain

What makes the space domain critical to Australia’s defence and security? What is our constellation of defence partners in space? What assets does Australia bring to these relationships?  What are the challenges and opportunities in the space domain?  Is Australia contributing to what some critics call the “militarisation of space”?  In this episode, Greg Novak joins Rory Medcalf to discuss the importance of space to Australia’s national interest, collaboration with industry and the civilian space sector and collaboration with like-minded partners in the space domain.  Major General Greg Novak is Defence Space Commander in the Australian Space Command.  Professor Rory Medcalf is Head of the ANU National Security College. His professional experience spans more than three decades across diplomacy, intelligence analysis, think tanks, journalism and academia.  Show notes  ANU National Security College academic programs: find out more Defence Strategic Review  National Defence Strategy  Defence Space Strategy  We’d love to hear from you!
