- Abstract
Space-Industry.com is an online directory of space companies and other space-related organizations and individuals. While the directory has now grown to be a comprehensive international directory, the project was first conceived in partnership the Australian Space Industry Chamber of Commerce (ASICC) and the National Space Society of Australia (NSSA) to supplement the services offered by the Australian Government. The primary advantage the directory offered over the static list maintained by the Australian Government was that listees could register themselves and maintain their own listings, allowing the directory to grow organically and remain up to date. Four years on, the directory now uniquely offers customized landing pages for specific localities or other groupings of listings. This paper describes how any government or industry representative body can use these landing pages to support their local space industry, and simultaneously represent their constituency on the world stage.
