Description of the event – Each year on April 12, in celebration of International Cosmonautics Day, the "Aerospace Modeling Festival" is organized at the initiative of the Support for the Development of New Technologies Public Association. The festival will consist of two rounds and will feature a total of 7 categories, specifically in rocket modeling: Streamer S3-A1, Streamer S-3A, Parachute S-6B, Rocketplane S-4C experimental rocket models, as well as FPV drones and airplane models. The event will also include an intellectual quiz and a demonstration of helicopter and airplane models in an airshow format. The Aerospace Modeling Festival provides participants with an opportunity to practically enhance their knowledge in aerodynamics, aerospace engineering, electronics, and mechanics as a technical sport. Traditionally, an exhibition of various hardware startups in this field is organized, attracting the attention of local private and public institutions. In this year's second Aerospace Modeling Festival, more than 1,200 spectators and nearly 200 registered participants took part. It is encouraging to note that 35% of this year's finalists were women. The main goal and direction of the festival's activities are to promote and develop rocket and satellite modeling sports in Azerbaijan and to increase the role of this technical sport in the comprehensive and harmonious development of innovative youth and the formation of a healthy lifestyle. High-tech rocket and satellite modeling combines intellectual activity and physical activity in a clean environment. The competitions are held both individually and in teams, based on the height and duration of the flight, as well as landing accuracy. The level of detail of the rocket or satellite and the realism of the flight are evaluated based on the corresponding competition level of the prepared models.
