What do we do?
The competition team at ARIS has the goal to advance the association’s knowledge in building and operating sounding rockets by launching one each year at the European Rocketry Challenge (EuRoC). In this team, you’ll learn all the basics of rocketry as you go through the industry standard design process as done at NASA. You’ll plan and conduct tests of individual components, integrate them into the system and train procedures to finally be ready for launch day.
You will contribute to and iterate on the bi-liquid sounding rocket that is currently in development, and will launch for the first time in October at EuRoC’26.
