R2S KOREA · OVERVIEW

Competition Overview

Race 2 Space Korea is an international competition where student engineers learn by designing, building and testing rocket propulsion systems.

Race 2 Space Korea and Race 2 Space UK are sister competitions with a shared educational vision and competition framework. Each organising team manages its own schedule, reviews and test sites, while shared application and documentation systems connect students through technical exchange.

WHY WE EXIST

A design should not end on paper.

Rocket propulsion is learned most deeply by building real hardware and testing it safely. Yet student teams rarely gain access to specialist test facilities, instrumentation, safety processes and experienced technical review in one place. Race 2 Space Korea exists to narrow that gap.

WHAT WE BUILD

From a student engine to a test-ready system.

We connect practical standards and feedback across PDR, CDR, manufacturing, instrumentation and test preparation so a strong idea can become a system that is ready to be verified.

Learn by building

Teams own an open-ended problem from requirements and design through manufacture, instrumentation and testing.

Prepare to test safely

Technical documentation, design review and safety readiness are connected to a structured testing opportunity.

Grow through open exchange

Teams share PDR, CDR and TRR documents, design decisions and lessons learned throughout the competition, strengthening student capability and Korea’s propulsion ecosystem.

OUR GOAL

Starting in Korea. Connecting student engineers across Asia.

We want to build an open technical culture in Korea where student teams ask questions, help one another and learn from experience. Our long-term vision is Race 2 Space Asia: connecting student engineers across the region so each team’s knowledge and lessons learned become a foundation for the next challenge.

For students

Real responsibility for a complex system, carried through to evidence and verification outside the classroom.

For industry and academia

Connect student research and engineering with industry, turning open technical exchange into lasting capability across Korea’s propulsion ecosystem.

For sponsors and supporters

A direct way to make student growth and meaningful testing opportunities possible.

BUILD THE NEXT TEST

Help make the next testing opportunity possible.

Financial, in-kind, test-infrastructure, technical mentoring and operational support give student teams the foundation to test safer, more complete hardware.
