About

SEDS is the world’s largest space enthusiast organisation for both school and university students. Anyone who is interested can become a member of UKSEDS, young or old, student or non-student.

Purpose

  • To promote the exploration of space, and the research and development of space-related technologies.
  • To provide a forum through which students can become involved in the international space community.
  • To motivate students to excel in space-related fields.
  • To share in the advancing knowledge and growing benefits to be reaped from space.
  • To improve space-related education through both academic work and hands-on projects.

UKSEDS holds an annual National Conference, which brings together students throughout the country to learn more about space and to meet professionals in the space business.

International involvement

A number of student exchanges have been organised via UKSEDS. In late 1993 a Russian exchange occurred which not only allowed Russian students to visit Britain but also British students to visit and experience the Russian space programme and culture.
