ABOUT NEW NORCIA GROUND STATION (WA)

New Norcia Deep Space Tracking Facility has been in operation since 2003 and is one of the three stations in the European Space Agency’s Estrack network. The station currently has a 35-metre and a 4.5-metre antenna, with a second 35-metre, NNO-3, to be commissioned this year. As part of our expansion, we are seeking enthusiastic candidates who are willing to learn, to add to our capabilities and to embark on a rewarding career in the space industry.
