With the health crisis we are currently living, C’Space is postponed in 2021.
Welcome to C’SPACE 2019!
C’Space is the national rockets launch campaign, the appointment between students and space.
Organized by the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) from July 13th to 20th, this event will allow young people to experiment the projects they built throughout the year. The week rhythm will be given by rockets launches and CanSat drops, gathering students and professionals from different horizons and cultures.

For the fifth consecutive year, the 1st Hussars Paratroops Regiment (RHP) Ger military camp, near Tarbes in the Pyrenees, welcomes the participants.
With Planète Sciences organization, 200 students will be present for this event. C’Space is a unique opportunity for enthusiastic of space to participate to an educational project fostering scientific experiments and techniques embarked on experimental rockets. Unforgettable moments await these young teams who have been working on their high tech projects for at least a year.
A week of sharing and conviviality
In this context, about thirty experimental rockets, nearly eighty minirockets, ten CanSats and one experimental balloon will fly away in the Ger sky this summer.
First of all, C’Space aims at gathering people of all ages around the same passion. An official day is therefore organized on Thursday, 18th July, on Ger camp site to develop meetings between professionals of the space industry and students. This will be a moment of privileged exchanges allowing these young people to benefit from the experience of theirs elders and learn about career opportunities in the space sector.
C’Space is also the discovery of space for many. To this end, Planète Sciences organization and its volunteers will offer fun activities to educate the little ones as the greatest space segment in a friendly atmosphere.
CanSat France competition
Since 2009 the CanSat France competition occurs during the C’Space gathering, allowing young people to take on the challenge to integrate all the essential elements of a satellite into a volume as limited as a can of soda.
Hoping for the sun to be on the party, headgear and sunscreen are to be expected!
