Questions, answered plainly
Frequently asked questions.
If something here isn't clear, ask me directly. I would rather answer twice than have you guess.
＋Do I need a science or technology background?
No. The Academy pathway is designed to help newcomers build foundational understanding in approachable language.
＋Does joining guarantee a COPERNIC passport?
No. Participation, payment, and SwadeSpace review are separate steps. A passport decision is made through its applicable independent review process.
＋What happens after I submit the interest form?
Your request is prepared for review and follow-up. You will see honest status updates inside your account.
＋Can Rhonda approve my project or payment?
No. Partners provide guidance and support. SwadeSpace-authorized staff control payment verification, qualification, and approval decisions.
＋Can I pay on this site today?
Not yet. Pathway amounts are shown for transparency; requests are reviewed before any payment instructions are issued.
Program fees and pathway details are controlled by SwadeSpace and may change under an approved agreement. Payment does not guarantee qualification, passport approval, payload carriage, launch, timing, or financial return.
