Calling all space lovers. Come and visit the CSIRO iLaunch Mobile Operations Centre (MOC) onsite all day at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum.

Kids of all ages will get a chance to see how we can communicate to satellites in space from anywhere in Australia.

Purpose-built, the b-double trailer deploys into a fully operational mission control centre that can accommodate up to 30 mission operators, each supported by configurable multi-monitor stations and mission-status displays. Onboard, satellite, 4G, integrated radio and vibration-tolerant servers ensure connectivity, even in remote locations.

The mobile Mission Operations Centre is powered by a battery-backed solar system with generator fallback, enabling sustainable, off-grid operation across Australia’s geographically dispersed launch sites.

Developed in partnership with Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, and the iLAuNCH Trailblazer, funded by the Australian Government Department of Education Trailblazer Universities Program, the facility represents a breakthrough in mobile infrastructure for Australia’s space operations.
