Aerospace Team Graz

We are an Austrian, interdisciplinary team of approximately 80 students with the goal of developing our own rocket.

With this goal in mind, we take part in international competitions every year, such as the EuRoC in Portugal. We are engaged in the development and construction of rockets and rocket components, participation in international competitions and we accomplish research and development in the aerospace sector (bachelor and master theses). Additionally, we cooperate with technical colleges (Cubesat proj

ects) and hold internal team-building events. In October 2021, our team took part in the European Rocketry Challenge in the category 3km self-developed solid propellant. We were able to bring the Technical Award for the best technical documentation to Graz with our AVES rocket. This year we hope to be even more successful! As we are already working on our new rocket and are preparing for the upcoming events. To be updated about our progress and new advancements, do not hesitate to follow us on Instagram, or contact us via our website.

A healthy mix of touching grass, rockets and carbon fiber 🚀🌲

UNITE! came together in Graz this week, and we made good use of the time: talked shop about rocket design and where student spaceflight is headed, then swapped the workshop for the woods on a hike up to Schöckelkreuz.

Turns out the same people building rockets are just as solid on a mountain trail. Thank you for coming by!

🚀 Meet ! 🇦🇹
Two-time champions, ASTG returns to Constância with an ambitious new project: HARPIA, the team’s first liquid-powered rocket.
After claiming the EuRoC title in 2023 and 2025, the team is once again raising the bar with their most ambitious project to date, setting their sights on a 9 km mission and another strong performance at .
Can the two-time champions add another EuRoC title to their record? We’ll find out soon! ⚡️

Ever wondered who inspired the newest currency designs? Maybe the €10 kingfisher is just ISPIDA in disguise. 🚀✨

During the week, we were visited by the Aerospace team from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), known as BME Suborbitals . During their visit, we toured Graz’s main attractions and took a hike in the Deutschlandsberg Forest. Of course, we also gave them a tour of our workshop and enjoyed long evening conversations

REXUS 35 / Experiment APEX – Uncut Flight Footage
On 10 March 2026 the APEX payload (Auroral Polarization EXplorer) was launched on the REXUS 35 rocket from ESRANGE, Sweden. Goal: to measure the polarization of the aurora above the Earth’s atmosphere.
This video shows uncut footage from the APEX engineering camera, supplemented by recordings from the ground station, the REXUS service camera, and the HARTS team.

A huge thank you to for supplying our team with COPVs for this year’s rocket!

Their lightweight, high-pressure vessels are essential for storing our pressurant gas, enabling reliable tank pressurization to feed the engine. Their compact, dependable design also makes integration into our vehicle straightforward and efficient.

We’re incredibly grateful for their support in helping bring this year’s rocket to life!

Meet the Flight Computer for our HARPIA 2026 rocket.

Answers to your questions:

1.) What are
its main features and
interfaces with the rest of
the Avionics system?

The flight computer interfaces with the backplane of the rocket via a PCIe interface. On the backside of the flight computer are three additional connectors for the sensor board. The flight computer communicates with the rockets sub systems via two CAN bus lines. Its main purpose is to monitor our CANary PCBs and process flight data in order to actuate the recovery system correctly.

2.) What made you choose the
PCle connectors and have
you had any trouble with
them?

PCIe connectors are standardized and offer great pin density which fits our needs quite nicely! We haven’t had any big problems with them yet.

Already this Saturday, we’re ready to present the Flight Computer for our HARPIA 2026 rocket. In the post, we’ll be happy to share more details and answer your questions from the comments
