A 'world-first' telescope allowing Australia to play a starring role in space communications
A new telescope at Mount Stromlo will give researchers thousands of times more information.
The Quantum Optical Ground Station, where the telescope is housed, can provide high-quality video transmissions from space.
Professor Anna Moore of the ANU says it's a world-first in terms of global communication capability.
