Aerospace Student Wins The Order Of Australia Association Foundation Scholarship

A Monash University student who aspires to be the leader in space exploration has won The Order of Australia Association Foundation Scholarship for 2024. Ayman is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a focus on aerospace engineering.

While commenting on this, Ayman said, “I envision starting a successful company that develops reusable rocket systems for interplanetary missions. This would help establish Australia as a major player in space and contribute to humanity’s exploration and settlement of other planets and moons in the solar system. I also hope that my work will deliver practical benefits on Earth, much like how space technologies like solar panels have become essential in renewable energy."
