The Astroneers Project
Applied Astronomy
The Huntsman Telescope
The Huntsman Telescope is a robotic telephoto array leveraging the expertise of Astronomers to improve space sustainability outcomes in Australia.
By day - we track and characterise satellites in low Earth orbit
By night - we monitor geostationary satellites and their close neighbours
You can learn more about the Huntsman Telescope and our research in the links below.
The Anglo Australian Telescope
The Anglo Australian Telescope (AAT) is the largest optical telescope in Australia, and has been surveying the southern skies for over 50 year. With an impressive inventory of instruments, we are working towards identification of satellites at night, and in the early stages of testing daytime operations.
By night - we use the KOALA integral field spectrograph to tag Geostationary satellites
By day - we are working towards daytime spectroscopic observations of bright variable stars

Who am I?
My name is Sarah, and I’m an Astronomer searching for practical applications of Astronomy that can solve problems for people on Earth.
The Astroneers Project is my call to Astronomers to come together and realise their unique skills can be applied anywhere - we just have to think outside the box!
If you share this spark, or are interested in any of these projects, let’s chat!
