About the Australasian Centre for Space Governance

We bridge law, policy, social sciences, history, economics, ethics, and technology, working across sectors and disciplines to generate practical and innovative solutions for space governance. Our commitment to collaboration and creativity enables ACSG to anticipate future challenges while strengthening legitimacy, trust, and resilience in the governance of space.

We foster collaboration on space capabilities and governance across the Asia-Pacific, where middle powers are playing an increasingly vital role in shaping stability, prosperity, and cooperation in the 21st century.

We advance governance frameworks that protect the space environment, reduce risks of conflict, and ensure long-term access to space for all.

We promote frameworks that expand regional and global participation in space activities, ensuring fair opportunities and benefits for present and future generations.

We amplify diverse voices and perspectives, ensuring the space community reflects the societies it serves and benefits. 

We are committed to genuine partnerships with Indigenous peoples. We advocate for shaping responsible space governance for the benefit of all humanity, by embedding Indigenous authority, knowledge systems, and governance practices in decisions about the use of land, sea, and skies for space activities.

We ground our work in rigorous research, transparent engagement, and ethical responsibility. By building trust across governments, industry, academia, and civil society, we provide a platform for effective dialogue and decision-making in space governance.
