The Aerospace Team Graz (ASTG) is an interdisciplinary student club based in Graz, Austria, comprising members from various local universities, such as the Graz University of Technology.[1] Established to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical aerospace engineering, the organization specializes in the end-to-end development of high-power sounding rockets and experimental payloads. The team serves as a platform where students design, manufacture and test flight hardware to compete in international competitions, such as the European Rocketry Challenge (EuRoC).[2]
