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 5 € 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 and position you would be joining, you can expect to spend between 6 and 10 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
You will be responsible for keeping track of the big picture, coordinating between all departments and making sure the mission succeeds.
You will be responsible for trajectory planning, structural analysis or CFD.
You will be responsible for all Software on the Rocket (fueling systems, flight tracking, comms, engine controller, etc)
You will be responsible for designing, building and testing of our parachutes and deployment mechanisms - most importantly: making sure the rocket gets back in one piece
You will be resopnsible all flight computers, power distribution units, communications etc. of the Rocket.
You will be responsible for testing, improving and manufacturing the enigne and related ground systems of the Rocket.
You will be responsible for designing and manufacturing all structural elements of the Rocket.
An association is only as good as its network. So help us expand and ensure a stable future for rocketry in Aachen!
What separates good content from great content is a willingness to take risks and push the envelope. Wanna become our marketing officer and make people open the envelope to rocketry and aerospace science?
Having a good web presence in the digital age is a must have. Help us maintain and improve this and interal sites.
As a Propulsion Engineer, you will take part in developing, testing, and operating our propulsion systems. You’ll be part of the team that ensures our propulsion systems are tested safely and reliably, gaining experience with fluid systems, instrumentation, data acquisition, and test procedures.
Work on our web-based ground control software, used to perform complex test procedures and flight missions.
As an embedded software developer for the Hopper Project, you will be part of the electronics team, responsible for coding microcontrollers, developing control and analysis software for both, the rocket and ground segments, and designing the internal communication infrastructure using various bus systems.
Work on developing and testing high pressure propellant tanks, improving our filament winding machine and produce structural systems of the Hopper and on Ground Infrastructure.
As a hardware engineer for the Hopper Project, you will be part of the electronics team responsible for designing the electrical components, testing the different subsystems, designing PCBs and much more. Additionally, you may have the opportunity to work on tasks in other areas, such as in the software department, if you are willing.
