ARIS (Akademische Raumfahrtsinitiative Schweiz) is a student initiative at ETH Zurich focusing on various projects related to aerospace technology. In ARIS, we combine inspiration for space exploration, hands-on project work and personal development. Initiated and lead by students from ETH Zürich, HSLU and ZHAW we build sounding rockets to win the Spaceport America Cup in the highest category by 2024. Together with our partners from industry and academia, we aggregate the required knowledge. And on the way there, we educate future engineers and leaders in hands-on project work. Our ultimate goal: to fly a student demonstrator in Low Earth Orbit by 2029!
