Students on a mission to find life in space

By VANESSA WALKER

2jun99

THE search for extra-terrestrial life will get some new recruits
next year when the University of Western Sydney introduces a
degree in space science.

Undergraduates will study astronomy, astrophysics, rocketry,
satellite technology and telecommunications.

The degree grew out of the success of the Search for Extra
Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) centre at the university.

Stuart Hazell, dean of informatics, science and technology, said
the expansion of the SETI program, in which Australia listens in
to artificial space sounds on a range of frequencies, gave the
university a subtle nudge.

"We saw the chance to create a niche area in space science after
we were granted more radio channels," he said.

Earlier this year the university increased the number of
channels from 8 million to 58 million.

Australia's location in the southern hemisphere and the
development of a optical observatory in the central western NSW
town of Parkes give the university the best chance to discover
extraterrestrial life.
