The Association

The association is focused on rocketry, but is much more than just a place where rockets are built. It is a community and meeting place for people with interest in rocketry or space. Our members also get the chance to experience real-world advanced engineering projects that can provide them with skills and knowledge which make them stand out from the crowd.

The association is led by the Board, which includes the President, Secretary, Treasurer and Internal/External relations manager. Each project then is led by the Project Manager, who is usually supported by the Team Leaders (Structure, Propulsion and Electronics).

Our Mission

ÆSIR was created to provide a forum for students with an interest in rocketry, where they can develop their passion and knowledge in practical aerospace projects. Our goal is to educate students in rocketry and engineering and give our members real world engineering experience. The activities of the association will further strengthen the position of KTH as one of the leading Aerospace Universities.

Our mission is to become one of the top student organisations for rocket building in the world, by breaking and holding the student rocketry altitude record in Europe (which is currently above 63 kilometers). Ultimately, we intend to reach altitudes beyond the 120 kilometer mark.
