Rocketry Challenge: A crack(free) mission

Space Inspiration

26.10.2020

Usually, after the national heats, the international finale is held at the air shows in Farnborough (UK) or Paris (France). Sadly, the COVID-19 context means that that is not possible this year.

France decided to hold a national competition this year. The first regional final took place on October 17 at the Melun-Villaroche airfield near Paris with 17 teams in competition. We are looking forward to the second final, scheduled for November 5-k6 at the Mimizan airfield, for which 17 teams have been registered!

Around 60 teams of three to six youngsters in France have been preparing for the Rocketry Challenge competition, with around 30 of them qualifying for the regional finals.

The winning teams of these two regional finals will be ranked to determine who wins the French Rocketry Challenge 2020, and the winner will be invited to the Paris air show in 2021.
