The Aerospace Team Graz (ASTG) is an interdisciplinary student club based in Graz, Austria, comprising members from various local universities, such as the Graz University of Technology. Established to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical aerospace engineering, the organization specializes in the end-to-end development of high-power sounding rockets and experimental payloads. The team serves as a platform where students design, manufacture and test flight hardware to compete in international competitions, such as the European Rocketry Challenge (EuRoC).
The team is a member in the German National Student Space Flight Society (Bundesverband studentischer Raumfahrt e.V.), a national organisation of student space clubs, similar to SEDS.
