The Queensland Earth Observation Hub incorporates the SmartSat Queensland Node and is a jointly funded initiative of SmartSat and the Queensland Government.
The establishment of the SmartSat Queensland Earth Observation Hub (the EO Hub) is supported by Queensland Government through the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning.

The EO Hub is supported by an Advisory Committee, whose membership includes: SmartSat, Queensland’s Department of State Development, Earth Observation Australia Inc., The University of Queensland, the Australian Space Agency, and Geoscience Australia.
