Online: Decisions that launched South Australia into space!

Join us online for a special event as part of South Australia's History Festival 2025. The theme is DECISIONS.

South Australia is often called the “Space State” due to its historical association with Australian space activities. How did this association with space initially come about? What decisions, nationally and internationally, determined South Australia’s relationship with Australia’s space activities prior to the establishment of the Australian Space Agency?

Join space historian Kerrie Dougherty OAM, as she explores the complex web of decision-making that determined South Australia’s place in space.

Suggested ages: 12+, 1 hour duration.
