    Australia begins work on satellite ground station as Airbus supports space aims

    Beth Stevenson, London - IHS Jane's Defence Industry The building of a new satellite ground station to support a wideband satellite communications network for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has begun at Kapooka in New South Wales, Australia. Expected to be completed in 2021, the new site is being supported by Northrop Grumman and Viasat under an AUD24 million (USD17.3 million) investment. The first sod was turned by Michael McCormack, deputy prime minister and member of parliament for Riverina, on 28 September, initiating development of the new Defence Satellite Ground Station under the Wideband Satellite Capability project. “The construction will be a boon for the Wagga Wagga region's economy as this AUD24 million investment means goods and services can be sourced from local businesses throughout the construction phase and ongoing maintenance jobs,” McCormack said. https://www.janes.com/article/83465/australia-begins-work-on-satellite-ground-station-as-airbus-supports-space-aims
