Welcome to HSMaries.space, known simply as Aries.space—your launchpad for student-driven innovation. As a subsidiary of Hochschule Schmalkalden, we unite aspiring engineers, scientists, and creative minds under one cosmic vision: to transform space exploration from distant dream to practical reality. From building robust planetary rovers to pioneering the next wave of aerial vehicles, our mission is clear—inspire, design, and explore.
At HSMaries.space (Aries.space), our central aim is to harness the ingenuity of students to develop cutting-edge technology for off-world exploration. We believe that cross-disciplinary collaboration, real-world research opportunities, and a passion for exploration form the perfect trifecta to expand humanity’s cosmic reach. Through hands-on projects, mentorship, and rigorous testing, we prepare the explorers, inventors, and leaders who will shape the future of space travel—one prototype at a time.
Mechanical, electrical, software, and business students collaborate on challenging aerospace projects.
Members acquire hands-on skills—like CAD design, mission planning, and robotics integration—while tackling actual engineering problems.
Whether assembling rover chassis or refining sensor systems, we push boundaries to bring new discoveries into reach.
Students take ownership of projects, coordinate teams, and present solutions to real-world challenges, honing essential leadership qualities.
Members connect with industry mentors, attend conferences, and collaborate with fellow student clubs, expanding their professional network and broadening career horizons.
Regular training sessions on advanced software, prototyping, and testing methods enhance each participant’s technical proficiency and confidence.
Modular payloads, swappable power sources, and an advanced chassis capable of navigating rugged terrain.
AI-driven navigation, LiDAR-based perception, and robust communication systems let LEAP rovers operate with minimal human oversight.
Every line of code, 3D-printed part, or mechanical assembly is a testament to our community’s dedication and teamwork.
LEAP rovers undergo rigorous field trials to ensure reliability in extreme terrain conditions, reflecting real planetary analogs.
From power management to lightweight materials, each rover is built with efficiency and longevity at heart, minimizing resource waste.
Rovers serve as live platforms for thesis projects, cross-department collaborations, and hands-on workshops, shaping tomorrow’s aerospace talent today.
