About us

We've got what it takes! 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."
