The Fly a Rocket! programme is designed with early bachelor students in mind and aims to introduce the space industry, ESA, the Norwegian efforts in space and, of course, rocketry. Unlike other hands-on programmes the Fly a Rocket! programme is aimed at individual applicants, rather than team applications.
Successful applicants will first participate in an online course, where they learn basics about rocket dynamics, aerodynamics, atmospheric physics and more. Following the course, students are invited to participate in a launch campaign at Andøya Space in Northern Norway, where they will, as part of a team, build, verify, and launch their own student rocket!
While an understanding of some higher-level mathematics is required, candidates from any background are encouraged to apply. However, they should demonstrate a strong interest in the space industry, space science or technology.
Successful applicants will have the costs for travel (up to a ceiling), accommodation, and participation in the campaign covered by the organisers.
The deadline for applications is: 9th October 2022
