You are a highly motivated student in Aachen who wants to work on aerospace projects? Space Team Aachen offers the opportunity to work on diverse space-related projects.
If you're interested in our projects and would like to join our endeavour, you have to apply for a membership. You can either apply for one of our open positions, or send us a spontaneous application for the project or task of your choice. You just need to let us know what you would like to work on! An application typically entails your CV and a text letting us know why you want to join STA and what you would like to work on. You can find all the information on the application process and what documents you need to send us on our "join us" page.
Absolutely not! Any student can join our association, regardless of their studies. As long as you are registered at the FH or RWTH Aachen, you're good to go.
Of course! Close to noone joins STA having previous experience with designing and building rocket or space experiments. If you're willing to learn and put in the necessary work, anything is possible.
In order for us to be able to organize events and take part in competitions, the membership to STA costs 2€ a month. In exchange for this small amount, we are able to work on incredible projects and get to organize events where the association pays for food and beverages.
Depending on the team you would be joining, you can expect to spend between 8 and 20 hours a week working on your project. This is of course just a ballpark estimate as your workload depends on many factors such as the task you would be taking on, the project schedule, your availability, etc. At the end of the day, how much work you put in is up to you. Nevertheless, if you intend on making a difference for the team, you will have to work reliably.
If you are unable to join STA but would still like to support us in our activities, feel free to make a donation to our association
The accessible section is our way into the rocket. Your work will entail 3D printing, cfrp Body tube split-moulding and simulating
Help create, simulate, further develop and test our carbon fibre wound oxidizer tank.
Design the payload experiment to be flown on the STAHR rocket to make a scientific contribution to the project.
Design and build the next and improved version of the electronics to evaluate the performance of the STAHR parachutes.
Be responsible for the further development of the rocket body tubes, especially the manufacturing and testing will be the focus of your work.
Design, build and test a system which will be used to safely launch and recover a rocket.
We are responsible for most electrical systems including avionics, telemetry as well as recovery. Despite that, working on the ground station and getting good footage of and from our rocket is another key role of ours
Every system operated in Space should be ready to encounter anything. We want to verify on a professional level that our satellite is reliable and complies with all requirements. Join us and test all possible scenarios!
Even weightless satellites need a solid foundation.
Carefully analyse the temperature of the satellite's components. This information is vital for each system's functionality!
In orbit, we will encounter free molecular flow that will slow us down and rotate us. Are you ready to calculate it?
You will be part of a whole new sub-team, which is set to develop one of the world's smallest propulsion technologies!
Join us and design the satellite's mission, spacecraft operations and de-orbiting strategy!
Design the brain and heart of our satellite!
Build up the communication system and design the communication process for an orbital spacecraft!
You will become part of an interdisciplinary team mastering the challenge of launching an actively stabilized rocket
Having a good web presence in the digital age is a must have. Help us maintain and improve this and interal sites.
In a world of social media and youtube, (short) videos are as important as never befor. Join us and organize, shoot and edit videos from our porjects and events.
