Students are being put through their paces at space boot camp at Monash University's National Indigenous Space Academy before heading to the United States for an internship with NASA.
Being an astronaut has been David Corporal's guiding north star goal since he was a teenager. Forever curious about the way the world works, the Eastern Arrente man's dream crystallised when he was in high school, watching videos of then commander of the International Space Station Chris Hatfield.
The program is run through Monash University's National Indigenous Space Academy, where the students are spending the week for a 'space boot camp' before heading to the United States on Thursday. The space boot camp program covers aerodynamics, robotics, rovers, rockets, astrophysics, planetary science, engineering, computer and earth sciences.
