testimonials
“I joined the Rocket Team with no particular knowledge of rocketry or any particular technical field. And yet, in the space of 2 years I have learned an uncountable amount of things, both technically and organisationally. A practical project like this one is a perfect companion to a mostly theoretical study like the one at EPFL.”

“A practical project like this one is a perfect companion to a mostly theoretical study. Building and launching with the team gives students real aerospace experience.”
