At the end of the year 2020, when we were still facing the global pandemic COVID-19, we decided to create an online magazine focused on aviation and space. Our aim was to share the developments, discoveries and research in these fields with our community, also as a way of staying connected to the world.  The first issue was prepared with great enthusiasm and dedication, being published in February 2021. However, unexpected challenges forced us to pause. The extended quarantine of COVID-19 made it almost impossible to work on The Aestro Magazine since it prevented us from getting together, finding new members, and creating a solid team for the future of the magazine.
