The Finnish Astronautical Society
Straschnoy Axel
The Finnish Astronautical Society is a short film on an amateur society dedicated to the launch of model rockets that is, paradoxically, the main astronautical organisation in Finland. Founded in 1959 by enthusiastic schoolboys who, inspired by the space race, set out to build the country’s first rocket, the society continues to be a place where aspiring rocketeers come together to figure out the challenges of rocket flight.
