The team posing with the fully integrated rocket before launching it at the competition.

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.
