Congratulations to AUStornauts VIP team members Tiana Pendray, Kai Schreiber-Pitters, Areeb Nokhez, Jaden Ann and Dhiren Perera, who won third place at the 10th Mission Idea Contest in Taiwan on 9 November.

Their idea, “Active Electrodynamic Tether for Debris Avoidance in Low Earth Orbit,” offers a creative approach to addressing the challenge of space debris.

As the Project Lead, I am incredibly proud of this achievement and grateful for the support provided by the Faculty and School. I look forward to working with the team as we pursue new milestones and opportunities, including launching our CubeSat into orbit.

Congratulations to the whole team on this fantastic achievement! 🎉
