History
In order to fulfill the CanSat in Greece’s needs of launching CanSats at an altitude of 1 km a high power rocket is needed. In the first competition held in 2017 conventional amateur rockets were used. Due to the great interest of SPIN’s volunteers to get into the rocketry field and cost considerations Project Rocketry was born.
On October 2018 SPIN set a goal of acquiring the necessary know-how required for the development, testing and safe operation of High Power Rockets. Today the team continues its research and development on reusable CanSat launchers.
Mission
The mission is to develop a low cost fully reusable high power rocket that can safely deploy its four CanSat payload to an altitude of 1km. SPIN’s goal is for all components and necessary equipment needed for the construction, testing and operation of the launcher to be fully student research and developed.
The projects goal is to successfully launch CanSats for years to come, set the foundations for future projects and nurture a nationwide amateur rocketry community that will grow to become the bedrock of Greece’s Satellite Launcher Sector.

Achievements
After 10 months of Project Rocketry operation SPIN was the first Greek non-profit organization to successfully research, develop and launch a fully reusable student researched and developed high power rocket at an altitude of 450m in August 2018.
