Team HANul competed at the 2026 International Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) in Midland, Texas, from June 15 to 20, as Team 85 in the 10K COTS category.

The team entered HSR-2, its second sounding rocket, 3.444 m long and about 49 kg at liftoff, with four canards, four cold-gas RCS thrusters, and the TRACER 4U CubeSat payload.

HSR-2 and TRACER passed the safety review and received flight authorization. Weather compressed the launch schedule, and HSR-2 did not fly at the competition.

2026 season sponsors: D-Air, INNOSPACE, Dassault Systèmes, Altium, Ansys, JLCPCB, MISUMI meviy, Hehworks, SPACELAB, and the Chosun University Aerospace Boot Camp Program.
