The secondary rocket project for 2025-2026, Project IRIS is focused on the development of an in-rocket laser communication payload. This project challenged the team to develop a vibration-resistant environment to be launched on an L2 rocket at SRA in Palm Bay, FL.


This project is led by Ana Valdivia, who appointed 3 subteams:

- Aerostructures (led by Jefferson Quintero)
- Payload (led by Jared Widiker)
- Systems (led by Christian Carneiro)


This project has yet to conclude, as of June 2026. Once it does, it's project files will be available for download here.
