Fancy being a scientist for a day?
Share with us which one of three possible targets for the Cassini spacecraft you feel is the most interesting, and win great prizes for you and your class - and the chance to work with NASA scientists!
The competition closes 6 October and is open to all secondary school students. Check out our Cassini Essay Competition page for more details.
Our Vision
EDUCATION
Our goal is to have an active education campaign, covering the full breadth of space science - but ultimately having every secondary school in NZ developing and launching a satellite or rocket into orbit. ...[More]
COMMUNITY
We aim to unify the NZ Space Community - from spectators to the dreamers and visionaries actually building or working on space technology. ...[More]
EXPERIMENTATION
Kiwis are inventors: From building rockets, developing scientific payloads or growing food for astronauts - want to support their efforts, by clearing roadblocks to innovation and building shared infrastructure ...[More]
The NZ Space Foundation was founded in April 2010, by a group of enthusiastic kiwi space advocates. Browse our [full vision], covering [Representation], [Advocacy], [Space Policy], [Community Engagement] and more.

We need your help!
Ultimately the success of the NZSF comes down to the contribution of members - so we need your help. Most of all during this discovery phase - we want to find out what's going on, that we don't know about! The initial committee quickly discovered that there was a lot more going on around New Zealand than we realised - but we're certain there are a lot more Kiwis out there working deep-in or on the fringe of space enterprise.
Do you know of any Kiwis (in NZ or abroad, dead or alive) who:
- Works for an aerospace company?
- Are currently working on space-related research, projects or products?
- Is damn keen to help kickstart the NZ Space Race, and would like to join the NZSF team?
- Is involved (or is keen to be involved) with Space education - at any level?
In addition to these specific areas we're trying to research, who we're ultimately after is you – a space enthusiast who took the time to take a look at this site. If the activities and vision of the NZSF is for you, then register your interest!. We're still in the early stages of getting going, but have a committee that is meeting regularly to discuss the direction and next steps - and hope to have some public displays, conferences or meetings in the not too distant future.
What's on?
