DETAILS

The Royal Australian Mint is proud to collaborate with the Australian Space Agency on the Out of this World – Australia in Space coin program. Working across government, industry and academia to advance Australia’s position in the global space economy, the Agency is at the heart if space in Australia. Australia has several advantages that
make us a great place to do space. Areas where Australia has a competitive edge or strategic interest are many and varied, including positioning, navigation and timing; earth observation; communications technologies and services and much more.

Australia was one of the earliest nations to launch its own satellite, just 10 years after the Space Age began. The Australian designed and built WRESAT-1 launched from the Woomera Rocket Range in South Australia on 29 November 1967, using a rocket donated by the United States. Students from the University of Melbourne developed
an early amateur radio satellite, Australis-OSCAR 5, that was launched by NASA on 23 January 1970.
