Author Information

Owen was educated at Geelong Grammar School and attended the University of Melbourne where he studied Electrical Engineering and Electronics. Following graduation, he joined the Physics RAAF Department of the University for his PhD in balloon-borne astronomy. He joined the staff of the Department and moved to the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra in 1986. Owen's next move was to Adelaide and private industry, including the defence industry, and finally joined an information technology company before retiring in 2009. He enjoyed short stints with the Ericsson Research Laboratory, an aircraft flight test company and an industry association. Owen is married with a son, three grandchildren and two small dogs. Richard was educated at Melbourne Grammar School and he enrolled in a four year Bachelor of Laws course at Melbourne University in 1962. Largely because of his involvement with the Australis project and also of his uncertainty about wanting to be a lawyer, he did not complete the course until 1972. In the meantime, Richard applied his interest in space research by working for the Bureau of Meteorology in Melbourne, helping to set up their weather satellite receiving stations around the country. On graduating with his Law degree in 1972 Richard worked for a lawyer in Melbourne for three years, before taking up a position with a law firm in suburban Greensborough and specialising in Family Law. He went on to become Senior Partner in the firm, from which he retired in 2011, while continuing to work there as a consultant. Richard was a member of the Australian Space Industry Chamber of Commerce in the 1990s when the Chamber was advising the Federal Government on space policy and regulations. Richard is married to Pauline and they live in a rural area north of Melbourne. They have three children and three grandchildren.
