Lt Gen Larry James has moved to Australia to increase our teaching and research capability.
Australia’s space effort is taking a leap forward after recruiting a retired US Air Force lieutenant general and NASA administrator.
“Australia is really doing a lot to boost its space capabilities. And this would be a good time to join in that effort,” James said from Sydney, where he will be based. AquaWatch Australia, which aims to create an integrated ground-to-space national water quality monitoring system, was one such project that could benefit from having a space component to boost its aim of providing predictive forecasting, he said.
He worked with Australian military and scientists throughout his time in the air force, and during his civilian career at NASA. “I deployed with them during Iraqi Freedom, worked with them during my intel time and my Air Force time and JPL time,” he said.
