On Ukrainian Independence Day, 24th of August, a special fun competition of S2/P rockets carrying eggs will be launched. The winner will have to safely return their golden centered cargo back to Earth unbroken. The event will be open to everyone, not just the competitors of the competition. Participants will need to design their own rockets and launch them to take home their piece of the 4000-euro prize fund!
