The telescope is located in a purpose-built observatory, close to the UWA gravitational research facility about 70 kilometres north of Perth.
It scans the sky for potentially hazardous asteroids, and is helping to inspire the next generation of scientists.
Zadko is an important facility for astronomy research at UWA, and is a joint resource for the UWA School of Physics.
Zadko is partially supported by the ARC Centre of Excellence Ozgrav.
Zadko collaborates with a number of international partners, including the following.
- Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France
