By one of the largest commercial spacecraft designed, manufactured and assembled in Australia, SMC is building the future space transport and logistics.
SMC's space capabilities also address future challenges of inactive satellite and space debris, designing solutions to help customers manage satellites in space. SMC's spacecraft is designed to provide capabilities for future on-orbit logistics services, including spacecraft inspection, repair, maintenance and removal.
SMC is Australia's only organization focused on space transport and logistics, a key fundamental service required in Earth's orbit, Moon transport and other areas. Just as different modes of transportation and logistics have unleashed huge economic value on Earth, SMC believes that space transportation is the next frontier.
