Participants from all over Europe and the world stay at the Andøya Space Center in Northern Norway for one week, learning from professionals and becoming amateur rocket scientists.

Ultimately the goal of the camp is to launch a student sounding rocket, capable of carrying several sensors and reaching a height of 10 000m and Mach 3.

[1] Participants are divided into groups ordered with respect to their interests and work together as a team for the week-long project of launching a student rocket.

The students are involved in every aspect of the rocket campaign, ranging from internal circuitry and scientific case work to creating the payload of weather balloons for monitoring wind conditions prior to launch.

[2] Through the European Space Camp experience the young people are motivated to redirect their studies or renew their interest in the direction of science and technology.
