Simulation
Building a rocket is quite difficult. It requires lots of calculations and trial and error – both of which consume time and resources. Luckily though, our simulation team here at the rocket team developed a software that makes this process a whole lot easier. In mere seconds, the software simulates a rocket launch and gives […]
Recovery
Recovery System: At first glance, the recovery team’s task sounds simple: Make sure that the rocket comes down in one piece in a safe and controlled way. But it’s easier said than done. What’s the best way to separate the nosecone? Is it possible to stage the descent by adding a drogue chute? Which diameter […]

Structure
What we do: The structural team engages in designing and analyzing diverse rocket components, ranging from the primary structural elements to payload fairings and other crucial parts. We carefully choose materials that fulfill required strength, weight, and thermal criteria. Our collaboration extends to other departments, including propulsion, recovery, and avionics, ensuring the smooth integration of […]
Propulsion
The Propulsion team is working with the aim of providing a specially developed engine for the experimental rockets. Students from numerous disciplines are introduced to the complex rocket engine system and develop technical solutions in subsystems such as injection, ignition, cooling or integration. In this area, close cooperation is maintained with the Institute of Gas […]
Avionics
The Avionics Team is responsible for all onboard electronic systems, including the flight computer(s), power management, sensor data collection and payload integration (electrical/software). For this purpose, we develop custom PCBs and the (fully oxidized) embedded software that makes it happen. Hardware Architecture The primary mission for the avionics system is to control the deployment of […]
