Saber Astronautics opens new Research and Development Facility in Sydney
8th April 2026

Saber Astronautics officially opens its new research and development facility in Sydney. Located near The University of Sydney and a short walk from Central station, the new R&D lab strengthens Saber’s ability to develop next-generation space operations software and support growing demand across defence, civil, and commercial space sectors. The facility will focus on developing new capabilities in space logistics, to include space traffic management, space domain awareness, and application of AI to real-time flight operations.

The facility was opened by NSW Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, Anoulack Chanthivong, and the event was attended by representatives from government, defence, and industry, highlighting the strategic importance of sovereign space capability and the role of Australian innovation in a rapidly evolving global space environment.
The Sydney laboratory complements Saber Astronautics' existing infrastructure, including the Responsive Space Operations Centre (RSOC) colocated at the Australian Space Agency Headquarters in Adelaide and internationally at the RSOC and software team in Bolder Colorado.  Together the program enables continued development of its follow-the-sun mission services, and deployment of modern operations software to global markets.
