RMANNCO's Scientific Advisory Committee has established a $500 Dollar Scholarship Fund in order to engage young people and to encourage participation and interest in Aerospace and especially to help with the International Low Earth Orbit Space Debris Cleanup Project.
The Committee shares consensus that young people, from all parts of the world, must be given the opportunity to learn how to care for the environment, the Earth and the Atmosphere and that direct engagement of interested youth should be facilitated. To that end the Committee has recommended that RMANNCO initiate a short-term project in which students at least 8 years of age be invited to submit design ideas and recommendations related to design of a prototype "SDCM", or, 'Space Debris Collection Module'.
