What is Binar?

The Binar (BIN-ah) Space Program (named for the Noongar word for fireball) from the Space Science and Technology Centre (SSTC) at Curtin University is building the next generation of Australian small spacecraft in order to advance solar system understanding and to lower the barriers to space operations for other groups and institutions.

Our highly integrated bus consolidates the critical spacecraft subsystems onto a single electronics board leaving more room for mission payload equipment than traditional U-class spacecraft (cubesats). Binar spacecraft are designed and built in Western Australia and leverage commodity electronics manufacturing processes enabling us to rapidly build our highly capable spacecraft repeatably in small quantities or at scale.
