With the creation of the Australian Space Agency in 2018, the space industry in Australia is developing rapidly with the Responsive Space Operations Centre (RSOC) established and operational as of March 2021. As the RSOC expands, a steady turnaround of trained personnel will be required. Sprint Advanced Concept Training (SACT) exercises run by the United States Space Command (USSPACECOM), are held 3 times per year with military, civilian and academic partners worldwide. A week of activities are staffed permanently across three cells – ‘Americas’, ‘Pacific’ and ‘Meridian’ – spanning the globe to provide 24-hr monitoring and analysis of Earth orbit spaceflight activity. The Pacific cell is managed and coordinated by Saber Astronautics. RMIT University participates in these SACT activities as an academic partner to provide practical experience for undergraduate and postgraduate students. In these space situational awareness activities, RMIT students take on one of two roles: space weather analyst or satellite research analyst, providing data analysis and verification for a number of varying tasks as required during the exercise. We have established a space training operations centre at RMIT University’s Virtual Experiences Laboratory, using its tiled display wall. The lab is used for each week-long SACT exercise and participation is integrated with personnel from Saber Astronautics and the Bureau of Meteorology. Saber Astronautics resources such as the Mission Management Board are utilised as are NOAA and Bureau space weather online tools. Satellite conjunction analysis is performed using the custom ‘Predictive Interactive Ground-station Interface’ (PIGI) software developed by Saber Astronautics. We present here details of the training that RMIT students undertake. We provide a list of skills desired by industry for the employment and engagement of university graduates within the RSOC as a flight controller and within the Bureau of Meteorology's Space Weather Services.
