MAUVE survey astronomers @awattsup_, Barbara Catinella & @astroquokka have used @ESO's VLT to map the gas streaming from nearby galaxy NGC 4383, showing how the space between galaxies fills with elements - and giving clues to why star formation stops. icrar.org/outflows/

First interferometric fringes to the @AuScopeVLBI Yarragadee 12m antenna at 6.7 GHz! What does that mean? Great opportunities and capability for geodesy and astronomy. Thanks to Brett, Jamie, Lucas, Warren, Lucia, Jim, Mark and many, many others

Why is doing stuff in space so hard? 😓Its remote and extreme conditions are beyond anything we experience here on Earth. But Australia’s scale and range of environments from Antarctic to our deserts is a great training ground

Location, location, location - just as important in spacecraft tracking as realestate. Awesome work again by the @UtasSpace team. The important moments happened with the spacecraft pretty low in the sky from Hobart, but beautiful clear images and telemetry.

When @NASA's @MissionToPsyche launched early on Saturday morning Australian time, the @UTAS_ antennas in Hobart were ready to support the critical payload separation. Check out from about 1:52 in the video youtu.be/npIDMxrzm_o

This antenna was constructed in the @UTAS_ physics workshop about 40 years ago. It was the first large parabolic antenna we operated and despite its modest size it has collected the data for nature papers. I'm looking forward to having it back in regular action again soon
University of Tasmania Space@UtasSpace

Work is well underway to get our 14m antenna back in operation. In collaboration with the University of North Carolina it will be setup to be used in a range of teaching and public activities within 12 months. #Space #UTAS

Congratulations to the @ThatsScienceTAS team. Well deserved recognition of the amazing work that they do in raising the profile of a more diverse range of science stories and the people behind them. Big shout out in particular to @Dr_NChapman for her tireless work and enthusiasm.

Finally had the opportunity to visit the @AusSpaceAgency Space discovery center in Adelaide last week. Great exhibits. Thanks to Darcey Watson and the @AndyThomasSpace for your hospitality and great discussions

The near-earth commissioning phase of JUICE mission has finished. Everything is in order and the spacecraft started its way to Jupiter. Congratulations to Guifre Molera Calves for receiving the diploma as part of the commissioning operations. #Space #UTas

This is a big challenge. Our current methods for tracking space objects both active and "junk" worked adequately when globally launched about 100 satellites a year. We are now launching more than 1000 a year 🫤
University of Tasmania Space@UtasSpace

Mysterious objects on WA beaches, fireballs in the sky over Melbourne and northern Tasmania. Globally we're launching more rockets, which means lots more space junk. Our research team is trying new ways to find and track it to help keep us all safe. abc.net.au/news/2023-08-0…

We’re very excited to now have a full transmit and receive capability at two sites. One ideally placed to support polar orbiting satellites and one equatorial.
University of Tasmania Space@UtasSpace

Guifre Molera Calves has been busy commissioning two new antennas at our Katherine station. These antennas will provide VHF/UHF and S-band ground support for a range of missions, including the SpIRIT Nanosatellite and HERMES Scientific Pathfinder. spirit.research.unimelb.edu.au @UniMelb
