The Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) invites university students to participate to the next edition of the REXUS/BEXUS (Rocket/Balloon Experiment for University Students) programme, which is realised under a bilateral Agency Agreement between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA). Applications will close on 14 October 2020.

The REXUS/BEXUS programme allows students from across ESA Member States, including Romania, to apply for a chance to fly their experiment on board a sounding rocket (REXUS) or stratospheric balloon (BEXUS). REXUS and BEXUS are launched from SSC, Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden.

If selected, teams are supported through the full project life-cycle with training provided from their preliminary design, right through testing launch and results presentation – including a chance to present their findings at an international symposium.

More details about the programmes and application process are available here.
