SEDS UNLV STUDENTS FOR THE EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SPACE,
UNLV CHAPTER

The SEDS UNLV chapter was established in January of 2019 as a science and engineering-based student organization aimed at developing a variety of space-related endeavors. The organization aims to bring together students passionate about space to work on challenging projects, as well as fostering interest among the student body in space exploration.

🚀 MEMBER SPOTLIGHTS // SUMMER 2026

Join us in celebrating several of our SEDS UNLV members and the incredible internship opportunities they’ll be pursuing this summer.

We are featuring Ty Huel and Xavier Miranda, who will both be joining NASA internships this summer; Dominic Prisneac who will be joining Blue Origin as a Fluid Systems & Propulsion Engineer; Dominik Toth who will be joining Anduril Industries as an Electro-Mechanical Engineer, Alexis Martinez and Kai Yeung who will be joining NV-Energy, and Alberto Rendon who will be joining Haas Automation!

These people have put in many hours from research to hands-on work in SEDS which helped them get these incredible opportunities! We’re so excited to see everything they’re going to accomplish this summer and proud to have them representing SEDS UNLV.

SEDS UNLV gives you the chance to gain real engineering experience working on projects that are 1:1 to the aerospace industry right here on campus! This is the kind of experience that landed these incredible people the opportunity for these internships. Click on the link in our bio to start your journey with us!

Our latest test launch at Jean on March 21st hit around 9,600ft, just shy of our 10k target, with apogee separation and successful drogue deployment! Both flight computers fired apogee charges successfully.

Main chute failed to deploy at 1,500 ft, with both charges failing to trigger main deployment. To some it may seem like a failure, but to us it’s an opportunity to refine and come back stronger than ever. Test launching allows us to w**d out issues like this so our competition launch goes smoothly!

“Our team was more organized and prepared than ever before… I’m very confident heading into IREC.” - Ty Huel [IREC PM]

So proud of everyone involved who put in the hours and hard work in order to make this possible!

Congratulations to our Spark 2, Daedalus Torch Igniter REs Rabhi C, Gavin C, and Scott T on achieving 1st place in the Mechanical Engineering portion of Spring 2025 Senior Design!

The Torch Igniter project spands over a year of hard work from the team of three with help of our Engine System lead Reza B. Through hard work and dedication, drawing from their industry experience and Spark 1 experience the Torch Igniter impressed the judges, rewarding them with first place!

SEDS UNLV successfully launched and recovered Aramis on April 19, reaching an apogee of 9,708 ft. The rocket matched most of our pre-flight data, and our payload remained completely safe and intact. Our recovery system performed well, though we’re currently investigating a premature parachute deployment that occurred mid-flight. Despite this, the flight was a major success and showed how far our team has come in developing a reliable launch vehicle. 🚀

Leading up to launch, we faced several setbacks that delayed assembly and testing. We learned the importance of preparing for unexpected issues and having contingency plans in place. Even with the challenges, the team stayed focused and worked together to ensure a safe and successful mission. Now, we’re turning our attention to the International Rocket Engineering Competition in 📍 Midland, Texas this June 📆—ready to compete, grow, and represent UNLV on a global stage.
