Technology Development in Space and Astronomy

Space and Astronomy engineering research programs focus on developing, and applying, new technology and advanced design techniques to radio astronomy and allied fields. Expertise within the organization spans a very wide range, from ultra-low-noise millimetre-wave receivers, through the spectrum of digital signal processing, to precision servo control systems. Significantly, the breadth of activities encompasses both design and in-house implementation capabilities – a strength exploited in internal programs and external contract work.
