Students' Scientific Association SpaceCoffee
About Us
Students' Scientific Association SpaceCoffee is one of the most active student organizations at the Silesian University of Technology. We bring together an interdisciplinary community of university and high-school students who design and build innovative solutions in robotics, autonomy, aeronautical technologies, and virtual reality. Our teams carry out numerous parallel projects — from autonomous vehicles and airships to mobile platforms and immersive applications.
SpaceCoffee is a place where passion meets practice. Members gain hands-on project experience, take part in competitions and hackathons, conduct research, and develop skills essential in modern engineering.
We invite all those who want to create innovation and contribute to ambitious technical initiatives to join us.

MPER Rover
MPER is the Multi-Purpose Exploration Rover, SpaceCoffee’s longest running engineering and programming project, started in 2023... More
Airship
The Airship is a project to build an autonomous vehicle lifted by volatile gas, complete with a dedicated flight control station system and docking station. It is also the largest project undertaken by SSA SpaceCoffee to date... More
Meteorological station
The SpaceCoffee meteorological station project involves the construction of a station equipped with a system for performing atmospheric measurements and studying weather components... More
Omnicart
This is a design for a mobile platform capable of moving in any direction thanks to its drive wheels—balls. It will be an innovative vehicle whose mobility exceeds the capabilities of classic wheel-based solutions... More
E-Kart
The project involves the construction of an electric go-kart that will serve as a test platform for the development of autonomous systems. The vehicle will be used to test steering, sensors, and autonomy algorithms in real-world conditions... More
FPV Plane
This is a project to build a fixed-wing drone aircraft, remotely controlled with a surprise feature – it will provide the user with a first-person view from the aircraft cockpit. Thanks to the use of a 3-axis gimbal that rotates the camera... More
Rocket
The project involves the construction and testing of experimental rockets. The rocket will then be launched and used to collect telemetry data and test recovery and flight stability systems... More
CanSat
Over the course of three consecutive years, SpaceCoffee developed five mini-probe designs for participation in the CanSat competition organized by ESA and ESERO... More
Glider
The aim of the project was to create a small, hand-launched glider for participation in the Learn&Fly competition... More
PBL Projects
Among its many activities, SKN SpaceCoffee runs a number of smaller projects as part of the Project-Based Learning program at the Silesian University of Technology... More
