ULAS HiPR

Moving Into Build Season

13/02/2026

Our February all-hands meeting showed the progress made across every subteam. Months of design work have brought the mechanical and electronics systems into alignment, and a newly secured dedicated lab space means the team can now move from design into full-scale construction.

The meeting also included the announcement of two successful competition entries. With the programme moving towards build, testing and launch, the team has reached an important point in the 2026 season.

The new ULAS HiPR half-zips from O'Neills also made their debut. Onwards to build season.
