Belgium's
most innovative and sustainable
student rocketry team
AnTARES is a team of 30+ students from Ghent pushing the boundaries of sustainable rocket engineering. In October 2026, we compete at the European Rocketry Challenge in Portugal.
Founded at Ghent University, AnTARES brings together over 25 students from engineering, computer science, and beyond, united by a single objective: design, build, and launch Belgium's most advanced student-built rocket at the European Rocketry Challenge 2026. We are not just building rockets. We are building a new standard for what Belgian students can achieve in aerospace, with sustainability at the core of everything we engineer.
Hands-on experience
At AnTARES, you do not simulate rocket science in a classroom. You practice it across eight specialized sub-teams, each responsible for a distinct part of a vehicle that will physically leave the ground in October 2026. The propulsion system has to ignite. The structure has to hold. The recovery system has to work. The rocket flies, or it does not.

30+ students from every corner of Ghent University, united by one mission.
