Date Time Australian businesses gain access to space data facility in Western Australia The Morrison Government is helping small businesses to gain a foothold in the rapidly growing space sector, with the opening today of the Australian Space Data Analysis Facility (ASDAF) in Western Australia. The facility – delivered by the Pawsey Supercomputer Centre in partnership with the Western Australia Data Science Innovation Hub – provides businesses with access to the latest satellite data sets, as well as the tools and training they need to analyse that information and develop new commercial opportunities. Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Christian Porter said the uses for satellite data were almost limitless, but the costs associated with accessing and analysing big data sets was a barrier to small businesses entering the space sector.
