05/01/2026

ULAS HiPR has been accepted into Mach-26, run by Exotopic. After competing in each of the previous two years, the team is returning with its biggest vehicle yet.

Badhbh, pronounced "Bive", is named after the Irish goddess of death and the third of the Morrígan sisters. The rocket will stand 2.4 metres tall and measure 144 millimetres in diameter, with several new technologies to be revealed during the build.
