CubeSatPlus 2026
1-2 September 2026
Scientia Building, UNSW Kensington Campus
CubeSatPlus 2026 brings together the people driving Australia’s small satellite sector forward, engineers, researchers, mission operators, start-ups, students, and organisations turning ideas into working missions.
Held on 1–2 September at the UNSW Kensington Campus, CubeSatPlus is built for “doers”. The program focuses on practical mission delivery, technical problem-solving, lessons learned, and direct conversations with the teams behind current and emerging CubeSat and small satellite missions.
Over two highly interactive days, delegates will hear from mission teams, industry leaders, and researchers working across launch, operations, payloads, applications, and next-generation capability. This year’s event will also place greater emphasis on engaging younger people entering the space sector, while continuing important discussions around diversity, sustainability, and the future direction of Australia’s space capability.
Unlike larger, marketing-driven events, CubeSatPlus is designed to create real discussion, honest insights, and meaningful connections across the community.
Why attend
CubeSatPlus is one of the few space events focused on the practical realities of building and operating missions. You’ll hear directly from the people developing spacecraft, solving technical challenges, managing launches, analysing failures, and delivering outcomes in a fast-moving sector. The program is designed around open discussion and real experience, giving delegates the opportunity to ask questions, exchange ideas, and learn from teams working at the coalface of small satellite missions.
Whether you’re an established mission operator, researcher, engineer, start-up, student, or organisation looking to enter the sector, CubeSatPlus offers valuable access to the people shaping Australia’s small satellite capability. The event creates space for genuine technical conversations, collaboration, and connections that continue well beyond the two-day program.
Program
The program is currently being developed and will feature mission teams, engineers, researchers, start-ups, and industry leaders working across the small satellite and CubeSat sector. Sessions will focus on practical mission delivery, lessons learned, emerging capability, and the real technical challenges shaping the industry.
Program announcements and speaker updates will be released progressively as the program is confirmed.
