The 23rd Australian Space Research Conference (ASRC) is planned as a 3 day conference to be held in Sydney over December 2 to 4, 2024 at the University of NSW (Kensington Campus).
This conference is organised by the National Space Society of Australia, Mars Society Australia and members of the Australian space research community with a heritage of organising 16 successful meetings to date.

Researchers who submitted abstracts for the cancelled Perth conference, have been contacted by the organising committee, and hopefully still be able to present their work in December to their peers.
