Rocket Club Lead (Project PERSEUS)

Rocket Club Lead (Project PERSEUS)

Managing a team of 17 for the design and launch of an experimental rocket in collaboration with CNES.

Overview

As the head of the Rocket Club at Mines, I structured a new pole for experimental rocketry. I served as the primary interlocutor for CNES (French National Centre for Space Studies) under the PERSEUS project, aiming for a supersonic rocket launch in Kiruna.

Key Responsibilities

  • Team Leadership: Coordinated a team of 17 people, managing technical milestones and progression meetings.
  • Technical Oversight: Supervised embedded electronics, avionics, and hardware maintenance for the rocket’s flight systems.
  • Institutional Partnership: Managed the strategic relationship with CNES and school administration to ensure project feasibility.

“Managing a supersonic rocket project taught me that technical success is 50% engineering and 50% rigorous coordination.”
