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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aerospace Team Graz |url=https://www.tugraz.at/studium/studieren-an-der-tu-graz/studierende/studierendenteams/wettbewerbs-und-fokusteams/aerospace-team-graz/ |access-date=2026-05-13 |website=www.tugraz.at}}</ref> 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).<ref>{{Cite web |title=EUROC {{!}} EUROPEAN ROCKETRY CHALLENGE |url=https://euroc.pt/ |access-date=2026-05-13 |language=en-US}}</ref>
