Our professional advisors
Since we are a student organization, we want to enable our members to learn, innovate, and gain experience together to be well prepared and trained for our professional careers later on. To facilitate an improvement in our work, we are accompanied by experts during our time at ASTRA. Those experts advise us in our design and construction process and are available as reviewers, in the technical area as well as in administrative questions. In this way, we can ensure that we develop well both technically and organizationally. To this end, we set up two new committees in 2024. Welcome at ASTRA!
The Board of Trustees is a technical consulting body. Experts from business, science and the education sector support and advise us on major technical decisions, accompany PDR and CDR and are open to answer questions in their area of expertise.
The Advisory Board is an organizational consulting body that supports and assists the Executive Board and the Project Management Team in particular. It advises on organizational, financial and legal decisions and provides tips on the management and structuring of our association.
We are very grateful to all members of our boards for their advice, openness and curiosity in working with our organization! It is great to share the enthusiasm for aerospace between newcomers and experts.
