A student-led aerospace team at University of Minho building rockets and nanosatellites for international competitions.
Minho Aerospace Students' Team (MAST) is a student-led organization at the University of Minho, bringing together people with a shared passion for aerospace and innovation. Our mission is to push boundaries: to design experimental rockets, develop CubeSat technology, and prepare students to face the challenges of the aerospace industry. More than just technical projects, MAST is about teamwork, creativity, and ambition. It's a place where ideas take flight and students grow as engineers, innovators, and leaders. By combining knowledge from multiple fields, we aim to represent our university in international competitions, showing that curiosity and determination can reach new heights.
MAST's team dedicated to rocketry our rocket MIRAGE and spaceflight projects.
This year, we aim to design and build a functioning safe rocket to reach an apogee of 3km and participate in EuRoc 2026.
Our CubeSat competition project focused on designing and building a functional satellite.
Currently in the late phase of ground validation of a first of its kind satellite.
