Reaching for the STARS
since 1962.

ABOUT US

We are WARR, the biggest student group at TUM, working on ambitious projects around the theme of space.

Founding Year
Major Projects
Active Student Members

“WARR” is a German abbreviation, short for “Wissenschaftliche Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Raketentechnik und Raumfahrt”, which translates to “Scientific Workgroup for Rocketry and Spaceflight”. It’s been with us since the early 1960s.

We ourselves. From the basic idea to the technical realization, we are completely self-organized, so they are really our satellites and rockets, built by students of WARR.

That really depends. We get funding from TUM, prize money when we win competitions, and of course a lot of support from our sponsors.

At the beginning of the semester we organize kick-off events, explicitly to introduce ourselves and to familiarize new members with us. Drop by and see us!

Our Projects


At WARR Rocketry we develop, construct and launch advanced sounding rockets. From the engine and structure to the aerodynamic elements and the flight computer, we design the vast majority of the components ourselves. Leveraging years of expertise, we succeed at producing and testing our rockets with precision and innovation. Explore the heights with us as we redefine the frontiers of rocketry.


The Munich Orbital Verification Experiment, MOVE for short, is WARR’s satellite technology group. Since 2006, the central mission of our team has been to train students through practical experience and give them access to unique sources of knowledge. To this end, the team develops its own satellite hardware and tests it in space using so-called CubeSats – a standardized variant of nanosatellites. MOVE has already sent three 1U CubeSats (10x10x11.3cm satellites) into space and is still in active contact with one of these satellites.

We are currently working on MOVE-III, a satellite for researching space debris. To verify components, we are also launching stratospheric balloons under the name Move-UP.


At WARR Space Labs, everything revolves around conducting experiments in microgravity. Microgravity offers a wide range of possibilities, particularly in the fields of biology and medicine, but also in technical development. We use these unique conditions for our experiments.


WARR Space Robotics develops autonomous robotic technologies to reduce the risk of future manned space missions. Help us realize the technologies for future space exploration and let’s reach the Moon, Mars and the unknown together!
