Estonian Aviation Academy launches second year of Rocket Propulsion course
This fall semester, the Estonian Aviation Academy is once again teaching its Rocket Propulsion course now in its second consecutive year. The course provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the systems that power rockets, missiles, and spacecraft, bridging the gap between fundamental principles and advanced concepts.
Students explore a wide spectrum of propulsion technologies: from solid rocket motors and chemical rocket engines to hybrid motors, ramjets, scramjets, and advanced chemical and electric orbital thrusters. By combining theoretical foundations with practical applications, the program equips young engineers with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to the rapidly evolving aerospace sector.
Building on that achievement, this year’s course students will design and develop a new prototype rocket. The hands-on nature of the project ensures that students not only understand the physics and engineering behind propulsion but also experience the challenges of design, testing, and launch operations.
The Estonian Aviation Academy’s commitment goes beyond teaching technical skills: it is about inspiring a new generation of rocket scientists and engineers who will push the boundaries of Estonia’s role in aerospace innovation. With global space exploration and defense technologies advancing at unprecedented speed, the program positions Estonia as an active participant in this frontier.
