IREC 2026🇧🇷🇺🇲🚀

Minha primeira competição como Team Lead, ao lado da @isa__falconi . Team Lead da @ufabcrocketdesign , a equipe que conquistou o campeonato mundial em 2025, retornando em busca do bicampeonato. Óbvio que não é uma tarefa fácil liderar assim: é um ambiente de extrema pressão e desafios, mas, acima de tudo, de muito aprendizado em todos os sentidos.

O Team Lead acaba tendo, na maior parte do tempo, um trabalho de bastidor. Trabalhamos incansavelmente para que tudo ocorresse como a equipe precisava. Isso exigiu conversar constantemente com jurados, enfrentar tempestades de areia, 45 °C e uma média de 15 km de caminhada diária no deserto (foram 3 dias e meio)... Enfim, tudo para que o Airumã pudesse ir pra base e ser recuperado dentro da nossa janela de tempo. Além disso, nessa edição, além da liderança, também atuei no Recovery Team e fui o responsável pelo satélite na competição.

A IREC é a Copa do Mundo de foguetes. Para lá, somente os melhores vão. Não basta ser bom, tem que ser ótimo e passar pela aprovação de jurados que fabricam foguetes há décadas.

Ano passado, conquistamos o mundo com o Aracê. Esse ano, voltamos com o Airumã — do tupi-guarani, nossa estrela-guia. Um foguete que representou um salto tecnológico absurdo: nunca antes na história havíamos inovado tanto de uma vez só.

E aqui deixo a verdadeira mensagem do Airumã: nem tudo funcionou exatamente como planejamos. Mas inovar é isso. Inovar exige coragem para mudar, coragem para errar e para continuar. E essa coragem foi recompensada.

O Airumã foi selecionado entre as 26 inovações da IREC 2026. E mais do que isso...

FOMOS ELEITOS A INOVAÇÃO DA COMPETIÇÃO!

Uma equipe do ABC Paulista, competindo contra mais de 140 equipes dos 5 continentes, com orçamentos dezenas de vezes maiores que o nosso, se tornou A 1ª DA AMÉRICA LATINA a conquistar o prêmio máximo de inovação. Isso é histórico.

Enfim, não voltamos com o bimundial, mas voltamos com um prêmio que, com certeza, duvidavam que uma equipe do Brasil levaria alguma vez.

É isso. Ainda temos muito pela frente.

Per Aspera Ad Astra. Por caminhos desafiadores até as estrelas.🚀
