Industry grants open the way from the moon to mars

The second programme in the Australian Government’s $150 million Moon to Mars initiative – Demonstrator Feasibility grants – is now open.

The $3.7 million grants provide opportunities for businesses and researchers to scope out projects which have the potential to operate or support operations in space.

This includes activities related to NASA’s Moon to Mars space exploration endeavours.

Grants from $50,000 to $200,000 are available for space project feasibility studies, with companies asked to put up a minimum of $50,000 cash contribution to eligible project expenditure.
