Would you please consider supporting my future career prospects? My name is Ben Kopriva. I am a master's student at University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS), fulltime worker, father of a young daughter, and husband to a beautiful wife. I have a research paper, titled "Analyzing the stability and quality of service of a PNT spacecraft constellation in Areocentric orbit perturbed by gravity field harmonic and third body effects", that has been accepted to the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). This is an annual conference that presents some of the most cutting-edge research in the Astrodynamics field of study. This conference is taking place in Sydney, Australia from September 29th-October 3rd. Praise God for this opportunity! However, I do not have the funds to make this trip happen all on my own. This is why I am reaching out to you.

Reaching the goal posted on this fundraiser would not only enable me to present my research, but also interact and connect with professionals doing this cutting-edge astrodynamics research. These connections could massively impact my career.

These funds would also enable my wife and daughter to come with me. Please consider donating, as this would be an amazing experience and one that could change my future job prospects forever.

If you are not able to give monetarily right now, I understand. However, sharing this fundraiser to anyone who is passionate about young adults entering the career field and/or anyone who has a passion for space projects would be helpful as well!
