MONASH HPR

"pushing the boundaries of space technologies"

About Us

Monash High Powered Rocketry (MHPR) is a student team at Monash University revolutionising student rocketry in Australia by developing innovative space technologies, fostering collaboration, and igniting passion in future generations through outreach.

With a team of over 100 members, MHPR actively compete in both the International Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) and Australian Universities Rocketry Competition (AURC). The design and manufacturing of almost all components of these rockets are done in-house by students, including all airframe components and many flight computers.

In 2023, MHPR competed with Project Valkyrie into the 10,000ft Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) category. As part of a two year design cycle, MHPR designed and built Project Zenith, with the plan to compete in the IREC 2025 Student Researched and Developed (SRAD) category.
