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?
