About
NTNU space and rocketry is a student organisation located at Gløshaugen in Trondheim, Norway. Its organized Space and Rocketry activities started up early the autumn of 2007, with the purpose to stimulate students interests in space technology and space exploration. We also wish to give students with space-interest the opportunity to meet with like-minded people and thereby get inspiration and ideas for new projects.
Members are technology students with the interests for space and rocketry (duh), and who likes to do something practical apart from all the theory in the theoretical educational programs. Mainly, what we do is such as constructing rockets -be it simple model rockets or build from scratch, it’s up to each member what level to work on and how much time to spend. The rockets are, ofcourse, launched when the construction is completed. We provide a launch pad for members who don’t feel the need of posessing their own. We also aim to provide basic introductory courses in rocket-techniques for our members. Computer-programs can easily do simultations on such as rocket trajectories, and it all becomes even more interesting as you get the hang of the diverse theory behind rocket engineering and such. Further, the organization is of course highly focused on safety issues, and all members are of course obliged to follow the safety rules of amateur rocketry (provided by NAR) and Norges Lover.
We are currently investigating to get our hands on a small ground control station for telemetry, and we have a colloboration with Omega verksted located in the basement at gamle elektro at gløshaugen.
 New members are always welcome, it doesn’t matter if you’re not already familiar with rockets as long as you have an interest of hands-on projects and space technology. If you want to learn more about us and what we do, please contact us at talesu@stud.ntnu.no
