South India’s Rocketry Challenge is a high-rigor student competition designed to simulate real-world aerospace engineering workflows. Teams will design, simulate, fabricate, and launch a solid motor rocket capable of reaching a target altitude of 1 km while meeting strict safety, structural, and telemetry requirements.

The blueprint of South India Rocketry Challenge – 2K26 was formally unveiled by Hon’ble Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, reaffirming Andhra Pradesh’s commitment to strengthening STEM education and nurturing the next generation of space scientists and aerospace engineers.
