Abstract

The exciting early years of Australian and New Zealand space activities are described, from the development of Woomera as a missile and space test range, through the launch of Australia's two satellites, Wresat and Australis, to the space applications of the 1970s. The support afforded the US piloted and planetary programmes is detailed, as well as activities in New Zealand. The role of public pro-space organizations in public education is outlined.
