Bremens first rocket launch

Space City Bremen: How we support our home through social and scientific projects

Who does not know the Hanseatic city of Bremen?
Be it the Bremen Town Musicians, the UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of the Town Hall and Roland, the beer garden promenade at the "Schlachte" or the Bremen Drop Tower.

But we are more than that!

On the campus of the University of Bremen, including the technology park, and in the industrial area, Bremen offers a wide range of aerospace companies such as DLR, Airbus, Ariane Group, ESA BIC and many more, which not only enjoy a high international reputation, but also to train and further educate the relevant specialists.

Nevertheless, student offers for practical experience are not only a rarity, they only offer limited access to solving actual challenges.

And we close exactly this gap!

• Scientific work in space travel, even during your studies
• Consolidation of theoretical knowledge coupled with actual practical experience
• Taking on team leadership, project management, event management, accounting and controlling are just some of the possible areas of application within Astra.
• Inexpensive testing of "Proof-of-Concepts" in a professional, ambitious environment
• Expansion of the scientific landscape and the regional network
• Increasing the attractiveness of Bremen as a location for international students and companies

Specifically, we will invest all the support from our campaign in our project "Karman", where we will be the first student organization in Europe to be able to reach space with a self-made hybrid rocket.

Bremen is thus becoming a real space city and is getting the attention it deserves. On the one hand, we will be able to show that the educational standard in Bremen can keep up nationally and, on the other hand, we can offer the necessary specialist staff that the industry is so desperately looking for.

The Karman project is therefore a prestige project that not only provides local and short-term, but long-term and at least national added value for everyone involved.

While we have now been working for the last 2 years to gather the necessary know-how and experience to be able to subject the components of our "Transcendence" rocket to tests in order to plan the launch within a very short time, we need your support now.

• We offer young, ambitious people the opportunity to deepen their theoretical experience in practice in an interdisciplinary environment and to acquire new skills. Be it in our technical teams, in marketing or project management.
• We form a decisive, not yet existing bridge between science and economy and support our region to become more sustainable and even more competent.
• We are increasing the attractiveness of our Space City for companies and international students
• It is the first step towards increased competitiveness
• Help STEM Students and Women to build the necessary field Experience
• Write history with us

• Once we have reached the starting level of €25,000, we will be able to carry out a second "drop test" to test our recovery system, with which our "Transcendence" rocket will later return to the ground intact will come to perform. It also allows us to perform a wind tunnel test to experimentally test the aerodynamic properties to verify our simulations.
• For a further €25,000 we can on the one hand finance a start on a smaller scale, which we will carry out in the "EUROC" competition in October 2023, and on the other hand we can test our drive extensively.

Transcendence Start:
If the campaign really motivates you, with a further donation of €150,000 we would be able to use all our successful tests to launch our rocket.

So that we can bring this prestige record to Germany, we need a total of around €200,000.
