Our URC team will be competing in The University Rover Competition (URC), which is an annual global event where university teams design and build Mars rovers. Held in Utah, it tests navigation, science tasks, and technical skills, simulating challenges astronauts may face on Mars. The URC promotes innovation and prepares students for careers in space exploration.
Our IGNITORS team will be competing in the IREC, which is an annual event where student teams from around the world design, build, and launch high-powered rockets. Organized by the Experimental Sounding Rocket Association (ESRA), the competition tests engineering skills in areas like altitude performance, payload design, and recovery systems. IREC fosters innovation, teamwork, and hands-on experience, preparing students for careers in aerospace and rocketry.
