Akademische Raumfahrt Initiative Schweiz
The student association for space in the German part of Switzerland
ARIS brings together students from Swiss universities fascinated by space exploration. Formed around ETH Zurich, HSLU, and ZHAW, we engage our members in engineering challenges by integrating theory and practice. We do not only build rockets, we embrace the personal development of our members and involvement of our partners.
Together, we believe, we can reach the stars.
Made in Switzerland.
Meant for Space.
We combine space exploration with Swiss quality excellence and push the boundaries of what we believe is possible. In the next five years ARIS aims to win the Spaceport America Cup with a completely student developed sounding rocket, and in the next ten years to fly a system in low Earth orbit.
Form the engineers and leaders of tomorrow
ARIS is the launch vehicle that enables students to grow beyond themselves and to apply their knowledge. We form capable and resilient engineers, scientists, managers and leaders through our interdisciplinary, collaborative real-world setting. Our alumni are able to define a vision and realize it.
Involve the community
Space exploration and the universe are an inspiration – a symbol for growth and pushing the boundaries of the known. With our work we inspire the next generation for space and for realizing their big dreams. Through our activities, the partner network and our outreach create a bond of the third kind.
From Switzerland to Space
Two years. Two rockets. Two prices.
Ready to go the next step.
ARIS was founded in August 2017. We launched two rockets at the Spaceport America Cup, won two prices, and enabled a keynote with an astronaut and the Head of the NASA Science Missions Directorate. We inspired hundreds of children with our events and provided a springboard for the careers of our members.

Ich freue mich sehr, dass unter ARIS ein Team von Studierenden sich gefunden hat, um gemeinsam eine Raumfahrtrakete zu bauen und am internationalen Wettbewerb teilzunehmen. Dies ermöglicht Studierenden nicht nur wertvolle Erfahrungen im Ingenieurwesen zu sammeln, sondern auch zu erfahren, was es heisst im Team zu arbeiten, ein Projekt zu vermarkten und Gelder zu beschaffen. Ich wünsche von ganzem Herzen viel Erfolg!
Prof. Dr. Sarah Springman
