Have you always wanted to see a real rocket launch and have some time on 24.04.? Then be sure to stop by the CanSat launch – this year we have 18 teams in the CanSat Austria competition and therefore even 3 launches!
This year, 18 teams are still in the running – so for the first time in the history of the CanSat Austria competition, 3 rocket launches will take place on April 24, 2025!
All interested parties of all ages are welcome!
The event takes place at Schärding-Suben airfield (Etzelshofen 60, 4975 Suben).
In the CanSat competition, students go through all phases of a real space project: from mission selection and the construction of a mini-satellite to the rocket launch and the scientific analysis of the data obtained! Soft skills such as teamwork and interdisciplinary thinking are also actively practiced. The winning team can look forward to taking part in ESA’s Space Engineer for a Day event at ESTEC in the Netherlands!
A real rocket launch at a national CanSat competition is really something special – not in every ESA member country a real rocket transports the CanSats into the air. Thanks to the active support of the TU Wien Space Team, there is a real rocket flight in Austria every year!
Preliminary plan
Launch I: approx. 10:45 AM – 11:15 AM
Launch II: approx. 11:15 AM – 11:45 AM
