Silvereye Stakeholder Workshop – Advancing Australasian Capability in Agricultural Earth Observation

You are warmly invited to attend the second stakeholder workshop for the Silvereye Project, a joint initiative led by CSIRO and the University of Auckland, exploring the feasibility of a dedicated Earth observation satellite mission to support agriculture, environmental monitoring, and disaster resilience across Australasia.

The Silvereye Project is supported by the Australia–New Zealand Collaborative Space Program, with funding provided by New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) through its Catalyst Fund, and by Australia’s SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre, backed by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources. This funding supports a six-month feasibility study aimed at addressing critical limitations in current Earth observation capabilities, such as delayed data delivery and insufficient spatial or temporal resolution for agricultural use cases.

Following a highly successful end-user workshop earlier this year, which confirmed the need and appetite for such a capability, this second workshop is designed to engage key stakeholders from across government and industry in shaping the path forward.

What to Expect

This 90-minute session will:

• Present a high-level overview of the proposed Silvereye satellite mission
• Outline how the mission addresses sector-specific needs across agriculture and resource management
• Feature presentations from experts in Earth observation, data applications, and mission design
• Invite discussion on co-investment opportunities and how stakeholders can help shape the next phase of the program

Why Attend

Your involvement will directly influence the planning of a sovereign satellite capability focused on delivering actionable insights for agribusiness and environmental stewardship. The intended outcome of this session is to secure cross-sectoral support for the development of a dedicated satellite mission under a proposed second phase of the Silvereye Project.

We look forward to your insights and collaboration.

Kind regards,
