Abstract
New Zealand has been a space-faring nation since 2017. Rocket Lab USA provides access to orbit for its clients, launching from the east coast of the North island. Joining the select club of nations that can reach space has spurred significant interest in New Zealand’s economic, research and cultural spheres.
As university educators we seek to provide our students with the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to contribute to local and international space economy. We present here an introduction to New Zealand’s first science satellite, APSS-I, and Te Pūnaha Ātea Auckland Space Institute.
