The UNLV SEDS team is a student-led University of Nevada, Las Vegas space organization developing hands-on rocketry and satellite systems. UNLV's 2026 report documents the ATLAS-1 high-altitude balloon payload, built from scratch to test CubeSat components, its recovery after flight with preliminary telemetry recorded up to 53,000 feet, liquid bipropellant engine work, and a 9,600-foot launch for 2026 IREC preparation.
