Q-CTRL has teamed up with Fleet Space Technologies to develop quantum sensing and navigation technologies for space exploration.
The two Australian startups have paired off as a result of their involvement in the Seven Sisters space industry consortium, which was founded by Fleet.
The consortium comprises Australian firms and academic institutions focused on developing advanced exploration technologies for Earth, the Moon, and Mars.
The technologies they develop will be used by uncrewed lunar missions by the consortium.

As I mark an important milestone in my scientific career, I notice that not much has changed since the time I joined the workforce making my goal of staying in the workforce sound like an achievement.
Recently I completed twenty-five years as a scientist. Not surprisingly, I remembered my first day at work, eager to reap the rewards of my hard earned education that had begun in India and culminated in the US with a Ph.D. As a diligent student growing up in urban India in a family that valued education, I had pursued a science education, unaware of the challenges of being a woman in STEM.

In a previous article, I made the case for Australia developing and launching its own interplanetary mission a probe to the moon, or to Mars or other locations in the inner solar system that exploited commercial small-satellite technologies and low-cost sovereign space launch facilities. Such a step would raise Australia’s international profile as a new space power and in turn provide opportunities for our growing commercial space sector to secure investment from domestic and overseas partners.
So, it’s very welcome news that a consortium of companies in South Australia, led by small-satellite developer Fleet Space Technologies, is preparing for a series of missions to the moon as well as planning for future missions to Mars.
