TitleProfessor

Anna M. Moore or Anna Marie Moore FTSE is an astronomer who was instrumental in the formation of the Australian Space Agency as part of the expert reference group of the Australian Government. She was nominated as a fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering in 2023 for her contributions to space exploration.[1] She is Director of The Australian National University Institute for Space[2] and the Advanced Instrumentation Technology Centre.[3][4]

Education

Moore was awarded a BA from Cambridge University, 1994, a Masters of Space Sciences from The University of London, 1995 and PhD in astronomy from the University of Sydney, 2000.[5]

Career

Moore was employed at the Arcetri Observatory from 2004 to 2005, California Institute of Technology, from 2005 to 2017, and the Australian National University from 2017 onwards. She has received funding from various sources including the National Science Foundation, for SGER: United States participation in the 2007 Traverse to Dome A- Optical Sky Brightness and Ground Layer Turbulence Profiling.[6] Moore also has received funding from the NSF for Gattini-UV South Pole camera research[7] and the Australian Research Council for research on the Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey.[8]

Moore is director of InSpace, and established and led the Institute for Space at ANU.[9] At InSpace Director, she has exceeded normal diversity benchmarks by cultivating a workforce that is 75% women in an industry that is traditionally occupied by men. Her initiatives have facilitated the inclusion of female researchers within the InSpace Mission Specialist team and Technical Advisory Groups, two bodies that influence Australia's overarching space strategy.[10]

During her tenure as Director of the Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre (AITC) at ANU, she played a role broaden the scope of space testing services for the aerospace sector in both Australia and New Zealand. She also ensured access for the space community to the AITC's National Space Test Facility (NSTF).[10]

By early 2020, during the COVID-induced closures affecting much of Australian business, Moore facilitated the reopening of NSTF's first facility at ANU to open. This action ensured the continual fulfillment of heightened space testing demands from space companies, start-ups, and universities across Australia.[10]

Select publications

Moore has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications, with over 3060 citations and an H index of 29 as of 2023.[11] Moore has also written various articles on space for The Conversation, on 'Why space matters' and space exploration in a post-covid world.[12][13]
