HIGH-POWERED SOLID ROCKET
Do you want to fly higher than ever before? Led by Charikleia Nikou, this project is our chance to take our society to new heights as we design, build, and launch a competition rocket with a payload that pushes the limits of our capabilities. This project calls for driven, skilled and passionate people in areas like aerospace design, structures, avionics, flight performance, recovery systems, payload integration, and more. This is your chance to push your skills to the sky, gain valuable experience, and help deliver one of the most ambitious rockets that our society has ever launched. Let’s fly high!
