Av-Comm Observer: June 2024

Our Cassowary Satellite Ground Station Update


Monthly Wrap Up

Av-Comm experienced a dynamic and eventful May/June, highlighted by a series of prominent events and conferences. Our Head of Project Delivery, Christian Diaz, had the honor of attending the Treasurer’s post-Budget address at Parliament House as a guest of Lockheed Martin Australia. Meanwhile, CEO Michael Cratt and Director of Business Relations Evan Kirk represented Av-Comm at CommunicAsia in Singapore. Ground Segment Advisor George Campbell participated in the AusSpace Expo and the Space Law and Policy Conference.


We also celebrated as a team at the AusSpace Awards, a memorable evening recognising achievements in the industry. Capping off the month, Av-Comm was a platinum sponsor of the Australasia Satellite Forum. Our strong presence at this event was underscored by Chief Operating Officer Santhan Naidoo delivering the keynote speech, and active participation from Evan Kirk, Christian Diaz, and George Campbell in various panel discussions.
