The avionics and payload team is responsible for developing any kind of electronics that is needed for the rocket, including but not limited to flight computers, control of the airbrake system, payload, and electrical components of the ground support equipment.
The Avionics Team Coordinator is responsible for a well functioning avionics team, making sure the work gets done in a timely fashion, and collecting the financial needs of the avionics team. The avionics team coordinator is also responsible for identifying and coordinating joint tasks with other teams and defining simulations, calculations that should be done by the Simulation and Computation Responsibles.

The avionics and payload team is responsible for developing any kind of electronics that is needed for the rocket, including but not limited to flight computers, control of the airbrake system, payload, and electrical components of the ground support equipment.
Avionics and payload team members will assist in the work of the avionics team, contribute with ideas, and even take lead in specific tasks as assigned by the avionics team coordinator.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The structural team is responsible for constructing the airframe of the rocket, including but not limited to the rocket body, fins, launch lugs, airbrake system, payload integration hardware, and will also assist in the design and construction of ground support equipment and test rig.
Structural team members will assist in the work of the structural team, contribute with ideas, and even take lead in specific tasks as assigned by the structural team coordinator.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Recovery Team Member is responsible for coming up with innovative solutions for a recovery system, partake in the testing of said solutions, do the calculations needed to choose the right design and do calculations for the safety factor of the chosen design.
The recovery system will cover the parachute to get the rocket safely back to the ground and the separation mechanism of the rocket. The tests are mainly the drop test of the parachute system and the separation test of the rocket body tubes.

The goal of the propulsion team is to develop a hybrid engine to power the rocket for a potential participation in EuRoC ‘24. The development of this hybrid engine is divided into two main parts: combustion chamber and oxidizer tank. This role will be performing across-the-board tasks supporting all subsystems, instead of focusing on a specific one. This equips the member with a good overview of the whole engine, and makes them invaluable for the system integration. This role is also deeply involved in the manufacturing of the various engine components.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The operations team is responsible for any non-technical aspect of the EuRoC team, including but not limited to budget and accounting, PR activities, sponsors and other external communication, logistics before and during the competition.
The Operations Responsible takes care of organising and managing the logistics regarding tests in Sweden, including knowing the legal requirements for those tests and ensuring that the necessary materials and equipment are available. This mainly includes the static fire tests that are needed for the hybrid engine development.
This person works closely with the External Relations Responsible, meaning that external communication is not included in this role, but helping with external communication is still part of the role (this includes help with any kind of administrative work related to external communication).

The design and manufacturing of the rocket requires solid and well kept CAD. Only this allows the smooth and efficient performance of simulations, retrieval of dimensions and properties that are necessary for various calculations, and for guiding the manufacturing of various parts. The main responsibility of this role will be creating the CAD models for the subsystems designed by each of the groups and keeping an updated full CAD assembly. Note that this role does not entail involvement in the design of the subsystems, only porting that design into the CAD software. The file tree with the various parts and assemblies should also be kept organised and tidy, in order to make their access as efficient and clean as possible. The CAD software used by the association is Autodesk Fusion 360, however previous knowledge in any other CAD software is perfectly portable into this software.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A sound and efficient design of the rocket requires an in-depth study of the rocket’s performance in an effort to optimise it as much as possible. After a first design stage, with a preliminary dimensioning of the rocket based on the material and technical constraints, the optimisation stage begins. Here the simulation responsible becomes a fundamental part of the design process, working closely with the various teams, and proposing design optimizations based on FEM simulations. This role does not entail involvement in the CAD that serves as basis for the simulations, only in the simulation part.

We will then contact you for an interview held in person or online in which we will talk about your previous experience and what you could bring to the team. If you haven't gotten an email from us, try checking your spam filter. If you can’t find any email, send a mail to president@aesir.se. After all of the interviews have been done, the board members and the team leaders will sort you out into suitable teams.
After the interviews are done and the teams created, we will send you an email that you have been accepted and also which team you will be working in and what role you will have (should you accept). In this email, there will be a membership contract attached, and also payment info for the membership fee. Once the contract has been signed and the fee is paid you are a member of ÆSIR.
When you are a member you will both get an ÆSIR email and you will need to join our Discord channel. Discord is primarily how we talk to each other outside of meetings and post announcements. With your new google account, you will also have access to our shared drive.
For questions, please do not hesitate to ask us on the following email:
