EPFL Rocket Team
Description
The project brings together students from EPFL and three other schools under the name EPFL Rocket Team. The project's goal is to design and launch a rocket carrying a scientific experiment to different altitudes, from 3048 m to 9000m at an international competition. Nearly all parts of the rocket are designed by the students.
In addition to refining our engineering knowledge and skills, the EuroC competition allows us to build a project over a long period, subject to the same time, financial and technical constraints that we will encounter in our future careers.
Founded in October 2016, the EPFL Rocket Team brings together motivated and passionate aerospace enthusiasts. This interdisciplinary student initiative was born from the desire of many students from different engineering faculties to put into practice their accumulated knowledge.
End-of-project objective
Launch successfully a rocket at the EuroC international competition
Number of students
There are usually 180-200 students doing this project.
