Australian Universities Rocket Competition
The Australian Youth Aerospace Association (AYAA) is proud to continue to organise the annual Australian Universities Rocket Competition.
We are thrilled to announce that the Australian Universities Rocket Competition (AURC) 2025, is set to take place in August 2025 at the Endeavour Aerospace White Cliffs Launch site! This exciting new location allows us to conclude with a launch event that invites university teams to showcase their engineering skills by designing, building, and launching high-powered rockets, aiming heights of 5,000, 10,000 or 30,000 feet – with one winner taking the overall winner title home! New to 2025 is the exciting introduction of catigories permitting hybrid propulsion systems.
Thoughout the competition, students are offered a unique challenge to demonstrate their prowess directly to industry, with teams being scored in their preliminary design, the quality & innovation of their manufactured rocket, launch trajectory, payload and safe & accurate recovery.
After successful competitions in 2019, 2020 (online), and 2024 we are working hard to deliver this launch event for 2025 – please keep an eye on our website and socials, we look forward to seeing you at White Cliffs!
