Australian Space Research Institute
The Australian Space Research Institute (ASRI) came about in the early 1990s as the result of a merger between the AUSROC Launch Vehicle Development Group at Monash University in Melbourne and the Australian Space Engineering Research Association (ASERA).
The institute is a non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers. Most of the work at ASRI is done in collaboration with Australian universities such as the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Queensland University of Technology and the University of Technology, Sydney. As of 2006, ASRI is developing a vision for the future of Australia's space community, including industry. ASRI does not receive any direct government funding.
The ASRI was created to provide opportunities for space-related industry and technology development for the Australian technical communinity.
