Earth stations in Australia or Ground stations in Australia are a number of historic and current Earth (or ground) stations in Australia used to communicate and track human-made satellites. Many of the sites are associated with overseas government partnerships established generally with the United States, European Union, and Japan. They are generally run by various Australian Government agencies along with NASA, European Space Agency or the US Military.
