Dear colleagues,
Our objective as part of the Space Education and Awareness
is to contribute towards the peaceful harmony of the Asian
countries through the Development and Utilization of Space.
We would like to proceed together to this same final goal
under the umbrella of the Asian Pacific Region Space Agency
Forum (APRSAF). The Space Education/Awareness (SEA) Working
Group is taking specific affordable actions in order to
increase public awareness of the young generation through
Space.
One of the action items, which we agreed to take during
the discussions of the SEA WG meeting at APRSAF-11, is
to conduct the APRSAF Water Boosted Rocket Competition.
We are taking necessary actions to hold the competition
right after APRSAF-12 in Kitakyushu this Octover. Now
WG members are making effort to organize the water boosted
rocket competition in their home countries and send one
junior high school student and the leader to Japan. Although
we use the word "competition", our major objective of this
year is to get together and gradually proceed to further
improvement for the next year, as we know all countries
are not under the same situation on the competition.
We really hope that we take first step towards the peaceful
harmony of the Asian countries through this competition.
Thank you. |
