Welcome to our very first blog post!
As AnTARES, the pioneering student rocketry association at UGent, we’re thrilled to share our journey as we prepare for the European Rocketry Challenge (EUROC). Our team, a vibrant mix of computer science and engineering students, is not just building a rocket; we’re crafting a legacy of innovation and inspiration.
Our project began in August 2023, and since then, we’ve been on a relentless pursuit of excellence. Our goal is not just to compete in EUROC but to push the boundaries of what’s possible in student-led rocketry. This venture is more than an engineering challenge; it’s a testament to our passion for space, technology, and collaborative learning.
At AnTARES, every day is a new learning experience. From intricate design to complex simulations, we’re diving deep into the world of rocketry. Our team members, ranging from enthusiastic bachelors to expert PhD students, bring a diverse set of skills and perspectives. This diversity is our strength, fueling our creativity and innovation.
Being part of UGent, we have access to exceptional resources and guidance, enhancing our ability to make significant contributions to the STEM fields. We’re not only representing our university but also carrying the hopes of inspiring future generations in Belgium and beyond.
As we gear up for EUROC, we invite you to join us on this exhilarating journey. Through this blog, we’ll share updates, insights, and the many lessons we learn along the way. Stay tuned for more posts about our progress, team experiences, and the exciting world of rocketry!
