Aristotle Space & Aeronautics Team (ASAT) - Similar companies

A.S.A.T. (Aristotle Space and Aeronautics Team) was founded in November 2015 by a group of Mechanical Engineering students. S ... ince its first steps, A.S.A.T. has been supported by the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics & Turbomachinery of AUTh’s Mechanical Engineering Department, under which it operates. Οur team has grown and now is the largest technical team of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh). It consists of students from different academic backgrounds, ranging from polytechnic to economics-related fields of study. We are currently focused on 2 technical projects - Aeronautics and Rocketry. The Aeronautics Project was established in 2015 aiming at designing and constructing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), eligible for participating in the global competition Air Cargo Challenge (A.C.C.). Our team has excelled, having achieved the 10th and 12th place in the A.C.C. 2019, and continues to work tirelessly on innovative ideas, such as the creation of a Solar UAV for the prevention of wildfires in forests! The foundation of the Rocketry Project in October 2016 marked A.S.A.T.’s expansion in the field of experimental rocketry. Five rockets have been designed, the latest ones reaching an apogee of 10000ft A.G.L. Our team is now preparing for its participation in the Spaceport America Cup (S.A.C.), the biggest student rocket competition! From its early moments, Rocketry has welcomed new challenges, thus carrying out R&D projects, such as the manufacturing and testing of a SRAD M-Class motor and the manufacturing and testing of Airbrakes. AcubeSAT Project, which focused on the creation of a nano-satellite, was one of A.S.A.T.’s Projects until Jan 2021, when it was decided that their efforts would be resumed under a new team, called SpaceDot. Since its foundation, A.S.A.T. has taken great steps towards achieving its ultimate goal, which is the promotion of aerospace sciences within the Greek academic community through a journey of knowledge, cooperation and fun! read more
