Systems thinking
Engineering
We treat projects as connected systems: requirements, interfaces, risks, verification, and operations all matter.
Hands-on practice
Learning
Members learn through prototypes, test campaigns, reviews, documentation, and iteration.
Shared responsibility
Community
Teams pass knowledge forward so projects can survive beyond a single semester or generation.
A student team with shared ownership
Space Team Organization

History
The team grows by passing knowledge from one generation of students to the next.
Hamburg Space Team began as a two student initiatives for practical aerospace work at the Hamburg University of Technology: the rocketry group HALO was started in 2023, and the satellite group THHOR emerged from the newly created CubeSatLab in 2024. In the fall of 2025, Hamburg Space Team e. V. was founded to bring our shared values together.
Since then, members have turned ideas into mission concepts, prototypes, test campaigns, documentation, and increasingly ambitious systems. Each project leaves behind experience that helps the next team move faster.
