Av-Comm attends Space Industry Association of Australia (SIAA) USA Industry Tour

Av-Comm Space and Defence attended the 2023 SIAA U.S. Industry Tour. Led by SIAA, Av-Comm’s Managing Director Michael Cratt and Senior Satellite Consultant Evan Kirk visited US space companies based in Los Angeles and Denver. Starting with Rocket Lab’s Long Beach facility, and progressing to Blue Canyon Technologies and Lockheed Martin in Denver, the tour demonstrated the collaborative energy of the space industry on a global scale.

“It’s opportunities like this that are game-changers for Australian SMEs; to be able to sit with global leaders and learn from their experience internationally, gives us the motivation to continue to push the technological edge at home and abroad,” said Michael Cratt.

Av-Comm thanks the Space Industry Association of Australia (SIAA), Rocket Lab, Blue Canyon Technologies and Lockheed Martin for the insightful and thought-provoking opportunity to meet and tour their facilities.
