South Australia’s first state-funded satellite, Kanyini, was launched in August 2024 aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-11 mission from California. Built in Adelaide by Inovor Technologies and equipped with IoT services from Myriota, Kanyini will provide critical Earth observation and IoT data to support research in sustainability and climate impacts. The $6.5 million mission, led by SmartSat CRC, represents a significant milestone for South Australia’s space sector, creating high-tech jobs and enhancing local space capabilities.
