Here is another thread coming with the launches of the rockets made by students at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 for the #RocketryChallenge! Enjoy! #STEMEd #STEAM #ESA
Finally, we can report about the successful flyouts of the #ESASpaceCamp 2026 #RocketryChallenge made at mini @SpaceportBayern of @RocketryKlima ! All 4 rockets performed very well trying to reach a target altitude of 120m with an egg payload! #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA #rocketry 🚀

⏬Thread: I had the honour to conduct a very special #RocketryChallenge at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 in Spain! 4 teams of "Senior" students aged 15-17 designed and built rockets that can carry a raw egg safely to an altitude of 120m and back! Please vote for your favourite #rocket 🔽!

Please have a look at this thread about the rockets designed and constructed by student teams at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 for the #RocketryChallenge! And my vote goes to the very long Vampire rocket made by the Bat team! #STEAM #STEMEd #rocketry 🚀

Looking back at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 (2025, 2024): We had the great honor to host a new ESA mini #astronaut - that looks a bit like @Astro_Pablo_ESA - for few days at the camp, and then give it to Pablo! Thank you so much for accepting this little gift!

.. and this is a sort of tradition now, as @astro_marcus Wandt got his mini version in 2025, and it started in 2024 with @ESAastro_amelie Schoenenwald ! Thank you so much! And who will get an #ESA mini astronaut @playmobil figure during #ESASpaceCamp 2027? #STEAM #STEMEd
