Western Australia Space Sector Gains Momentum with Student Research
A trio of CubeSats, known as Binar-567, is set to launch in Q4 2026, supporting research, technology development, and STEM engagement in low-Earth orbit. The satellites, developed through the Binar Space Program, will carry student-designed payloads, test technologies for future spacecraft, and feature an Earth imaging payload for environmental monitoring. The mission is expected to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 cargo mission to the International Space Station, with mission operations conducted from Perth. This development was reported by an unknown source.
