First place for the DeltaV Dynamics team of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in the international rocketry competition!

DeltaV Dynamics is a student-led rocketry team founded in 2023 at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. As the university’s first rocketry group, the team quickly stood out through notable achievements, including the static fire test of a solid rocket motor and winning 1st place at the AIRBUS Sloshing Rocket Workshop 2025. Competing against 42 European teams, DeltaV Dynamics advanced through all phases, delivered high-level aerospace design reports, and successfully launched its rocket twice during the final on-site tests. With growing national recognition and strong partnerships, the team now focuses on developing its next rocket.
