Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) can greatly enhance its remote sensing and research observation capabilities through Excalibur Almaz’s space transportation services.  Excalibur Almaz shares CSIRO’s goals of utilizing space as a platform for large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address national challenges and opportunities. Robust space capabilities offered by EA provides the added benefit of creating educational opportunities for all ages.

Since its formation in 2005, Excalibur has been working towards completion of our human space transportation program for science, sovereign nations and tourist. Our main partners include NPOM, United Space Alliance (USA), EADS Space Transportation (Astrium) and NASA on their Commercial Cargo & Crew Program through a Space Act Agreement (SAA). Excalibur Almaz owns four Reusable Reentry Vehicles (RRVs) and two space stations purchased from NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) of Russia. The RRVs have been to orbit and reentered the earth’s atmosphere nine times. The designer has stated the RRVs can be reused at least 15 times. The use of flight-tested spacecraft and hardware provides a very cost effective and time saving approach to the space transportation business.
