Supervised by the CNES, which ensures security, a launch area is set up for the launch of the various projects. With the support of the Planète Sciences association, whose objective is to promote the discovery and practice of science among young people, the teams and their projects are monitored throughout the year. C’Space aims at gathering people of all ages around the same passion. 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.

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.

Something new is coming to the C’Space this year, the CanSats are dropped by drone!

A good technical challenge before launching bigger rockets!

The Centre national d’études spatiales

For 60 years, CNES has been responsible for proposing and implementing French space policy within Europe. Since its creation in 1961, it has contributed to making space a technological Eldorado. Studying our planet and understanding the Universe are among the many challenges to which the activities developed by the French agency are dedicated. While the development of Europe in space is a permanent challenge, CNES has a priority mission: to serve human beings.

The C’Space rocket launch campaign, is organized every year, so that CNES can ensure the safety of the flights of the launches made by young people.
