SPACE COMMAND WELCOME

March 23, 2022

Federal Labor welcomes the commencement of Australia’s Defence Force Space Command.
 
Investment in space capabilities is crucial in protecting Australia’s interests in our evolving world. 
 
The increase in hypersonic missile activity, grey zone activities and targeting of satellites and space systems and networks has hastened the need for capabilities in this area. 
 
Improving our space capabilities strengthens our cooperation with like-minded partners continuing to build on those relationships.
