engineers. They work in teams learning responsibility, professionalism, and manners. In some cases, the projects increase probability of receiving job offers from industry clients. The AFRL Challenge is one-year program that seeks breakthroughs in military operations and capabilities through goal-oriented competitions that attract, inspire and challenge the most brilliant, innovative and practical minds on earth. In the 2017-2018 academic year, AFRL Challenge theme was development of novel solutions to low orbit debris removal. At UMD, the one-year AFRL project was split into two semesters work of 15 weeks per semester. The mission of the first semester’s team was to research, develop and analyze three alternative solutions to the different design
