 r 2026 🔹 Day 1  – Rockets return to Earth: open day of the Faculty of Space
  Technologies AGH  5.10.2026 (Monday) The opening day of Kraków Space Week 
 2026 combines the official launch of the event with the Faculty of Space Te
 chnologies Open Day, showcasing the faculty's research and student research
  groups through lectures, demonstrations, and interactive activities🔵 Venue
 : AGH University of Krakow, U2 Building 🔵 Format: on-site 🔵 Target: high sc
 hools, students, teachers, residents 🔵 Registration: via the Form 🔵 Agenda:
   9:30–10:00 – Registration and welcome 10:00–10:20 – Official opening of K
 raków Space Week 2026 and World Space Week, followed by the presentation "H
 ow to Become a Space Engineer" by prof. Justyna Topolska 10:20–11:10 – Inau
 gural lecture: "Rockets Return to Earth: How Reusable Launch Systems Have C
 hanged Access to Space" by dr Mateusz Olek The lecture will take participan
 ts on a journey through the Rocket Revolution - from the challenges of trad
 itional launch systems to the breakthrough of reusable rockets. It will sho
 w how recovery and reuse technologies are transforming access to space and 
 enabling new players to take part in the future of space exploration. 11:10
 –11:30 – Presentations by the SatLab and LunarTech Student Research Groups,
  featuring student satellite projects and lunar payload technologies. 11:30
 –12:30 – Demonstration zone of the Student Research Groups in the U2 foyer,
  meetings with participants & networking  🔵 Demonstration Zone: Visit our d
 emonstration zone and explore a variety of interactive stands prepared by s
 tudent research groups and the Faculty of Space Technologies. Discover exci
 ting space-related projects, talk to students, and learn more about studyin
 g space engineering at AGH. The stands will showcase topics such as rockets
 , satellites, robotics, electronics, programming, space mission design, and
  other innovative technologies. You will also find information about our st
 udy programmes, student organizations, internships, and opportunities to ge
 t involved in space projects.  🔹Day 2 – Practical workshops: Build a rocket
  - from an idea to a stable flight 6.10.2026 (Tuesday) Participants will di
 scover the basics of rocket engineering - from flight principles and stabil
 ity to design and testing. During hands-on teamwork, they will create their
  own rocket concepts, payload modules, or recovery systems, using the same 
 engineering mindset applied in real space projects. 🔵 Venue: AGH University

 es and solutions 7.10.2026 (Wednesday) The online session will explore how 
 the future of space exploration can become more sustainable through circula
 r economy solutions, responsible technologies, and internationalcooperation
 . 🔵 Format: online 🔵 Target: everyone interested in sustainable space  🔵 Re
 gistration via the Form  🔵 Agenda: 10:00–11:00 – Expert presentations on su
 stainable space exploration, circular economy, and the future of space acti
 vities 11:00–11:30 – Discussion panel on the challenges and opportunities o
 f sustainable space exploration  🔹 Day 4  – Build It. Launch It. Land It. A
  Space Mission on Your Smartphone 8.10.2026 (Thursday) Experience spaceflig
 ht from the astronaut’s perspective! During this interactive event, partici
 pants will play a game: Reentry – A Space Flight Simulator and explore hist
 oric NASA missionsinspired by the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programmes. T
 he Game Day will explore how mobile games about rocket building and space m
 issions can make learning about space more engaging. Participants will disc
 over how games simulate topics such as rocket design, mission planning, lun
 ar missions and Mars exploration in a fun and accessible way. The event wil
 l include a short introduction, live gameplay projected from a smartphone, 
 and the opportunity for participants to join in using their own devices. We
  will wrap up with a discussion on how accurately these games reflect real 
 space technologies and how they can support space education today. The even
 t is organized in cooperation with Groznawcze Koło Naukowe AGH as a special
  edition of Grymaszenie.🔵 Venue: AGH University of Krakow, C-7 Building, Ro
 om TBC 🔵 Format: on-site 🔵 Target: everyone interested 🔵 Registration via t
 he Form 🔵 Agenda: TBC  🔹 Day 5 – Fact or Fiction? Rocket Science at the Mov
 ies 9.10.2026 (Friday) Explore space through film! Join us for a special sc
 reening followed by expert commentary and a discussion exploring the questi
 on: how much science is really behind science fiction? The Cinema Day will 
 invite participants to watch a space-themed film in one of the city’s cinem
 as, with particular attention to its rocket-related and mission-oriented el
 ements. The screening will be preceded by a short introduction explaining w
 hy the film was selected and what scientific details are worth observing du
 ring the viewing.  After the film, a physicist will deconstruct selected sc
 enes and explain what is scientifically accurate, what is simplified and wh
 at belongs mainly to Hollywood imagination. The event will show how cinema 
 can inspire curiosity about space while also encouraging critical thinking 
 about science, technology and popular culture.  🔵 Venue: Cinema in Krakow (
