About us

We have it too! We want to get Czechia to the space…. or at least come closer.

...

The Czech Rocket Society is an independent association for university students who are passionate about astronautics and rockets, we provide a platform to apply our studies in practice, experiment, and test independently. Our comprehensive approach to rocketry and astronautics extends to the legal aspects surrounding rockets, educational events, and the organization of the Czech Rocket Challenge competition for high school students.

The founders of the CRS were inspired by similar student associations in England and the Netherlands, as they themselves study Aerospace Engineering. In both countries, those societies have a much longer tradition. These societies are usually directly linked to technical universities and technological companies that support them. Societies offer students their first touch with Aerospace engineering and then go on to real rocket and astronautical companies. At the same time, more and more rocket competitions emerging in which student societies compete against each other and slowly but surely come closer and closer to the space. (At the same time, there are more and more competitions emerging in which student rocket associations compete in rocket sophistication, and where students slowly but surely are reaching space.”)

The society was established almost immediately after the proposal to establish the association was presented at the first annual Czech Rocket Challenge competition in March 2021, and the first members have been contributing to the development of the society’s infrastructure and long-term vision from the very beginning. We see great untapped potential in the Czech Republic, which has quality technical universities and industry, but yet no official student association focused on space and rocketry that represents the country in this field.

Our main vision is to “catch up” with other European and world societies, participate in the greatest competitions, develop our research, build more complex rockets, and perhaps even reach space.

Our team

We pride ourselves on having a great team of colleagues, friends, and aspiring rocket engineers who understand each other, work professionally, and utilize the wit and knowledge gained from our studies, along with a sense of humor in the moments where it belongs."

Stories

"I have been with the Czech Rocket Society from the very beginning. As an aviation student, I completely fell in love with rockets and space exploration a few years ago. The Czech Rocket Society provides me with the opportunity to realize my potential and contribute towards pushing the boundaries of space exploration in the Czech Republic, especially for students."

"Working on rockets has always been my distant dream. However, when I discovered the Czech Rocket Society, this dream became a reality. The association allowed me to transform my theoretical knowledge from mechanical engineering studies into the design of real-life rockets that take us to new heights."

"Sadly, the dream to become an astronaut is probably over (I probably won't fulfill my dream of becoming a cosmonaut), but thanks to the Czech Rocket Society, I could be at the dawn of rockets’ rise in Czechia which can be just as thrilling. And maybe one day we will even fly to the edge of space."

"From Star Wars to home experiments with small rockets in a potato field, I have always been fascinated by astronautics and space exploration. I eagerly followed everything about rockets, big and small, on the internet and was inspired by Elon Musk's visions. I wanted to be a part of all of this and somehow bring the space future home, to the Czech Republic. The Czech Rocket Society allows me to do this. I can work on rockets and meet people every day who are just as passionate as I am. (I work on rockets and meet people every day who share my passion.")"

"I have been a member in several students societies but nowhere I have been involved in such large-scale projects as in CRS in such a short time. In the first seven months, I experienced five rocket launches and was responsible for the flight software. Watching every launch with the knowledge that if somethings goes wrong, I can bear direct responsibility was a little bit (slightly) stressful, but on other hand great life lesson and relief when it succeeded."
