Czech Rocket Challenge

Fourth edition (2024)

AFTERMOVIE SOON

For the fourth year of the Czech Rocket Challenge we - of course - returned to Medlánky near Brno. Although it was raining on the morning of 12th July 2024, as soon as the rain stopped we launched one rocket after another. For the first time ever we streamed the CRC live on YouTube (thanks to AVC ČVUT) and for the first time we welcomed a team from abroad.

Third edition (2023)

The third edition of the Czech Rocket Challenge traditionally took place at the airport in Medlanky near Brno on 14th July 2023. In addition to television, we were also visited by ESA's backup astronaut Aleš Svoboda, or Karel Dobeš! The whole day was accompanied by commentators Ota Michálek and Aleš Hrudička, who created a pleasant atmosphere during a day filled with rocket launches!

Second edition (2022)

The second edition of the Czech Rocket Challenge took place on 10th June 2022 at Brno-Medlánky Airport under the auspices of the Czech Rocket Society. A friendly atmosphere full of rocket enthusiasts carried the whole day. In the end, 27 teams successfully launched, which is more than a threefold increase compared to the previous year. It is so evident that there is interest in building model rockets all over the country and we could not wait to host the next edition.
