IREC 2018 was the second SSI IREC team to participate in the [[Intercollegiate Rocketry Engineering Competition]], placing second in the 30k commercial off-the-shelf motor category. The rocket featured an avionics bay with a long-distance radio system, a reduced-diameter recovery system, a fiberglass airframe with a carbon fiber fin lay-up, a powered decoupling mechanism, and a software-defined GPS payload.
