We would like to thank everyone who came along to our November Workshop. We’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback so far, and we hope you had a great time, learnt lots and made some good acquaintances.
As some of you have request we have made the lecture slides from Jenny Kingston’s Space Systems Engineering workshop available here.
Also for those of you took didn’t manage to take part in Dan Kent’s (Vega) Spacecraft Control Workshop the program and instructions are available here for you to have a play around with.
————————————————————————
UKSEDS present our annual November workshop session, this year to be held at Imperial College London on the 19th Nov. This all day event will be FREE for all to attend regardless of whether you are a branch member or just curious about what people in UKSEDS get up to. We will be offering a collection of talks, demonstrations and workshops including:
- Space systems engineering workshop with Dr Jenny Kingston – how to plan and design your own space missions.
- “The Scientific Case for renewed Robotic and Human Exploration of the Moon” – a talk by Dr Ian Crawford
- Branches summit – a chance to network with colleagues and develop new project ideas.
- MBed workshop – Electronics and integrated chip programming for your projects.
- Spacecraft operations with VEGA and Dan Kent – software training and introduction.
- High Altitude Ballooning with Steve Randall – demonstration of how easy it is to run your own HAB missions.
- Zoe’s birthday – not actually part of the workshop but as we’re making Zoe work on her birthday, we probably should do something to say thanks (for the cake)
Whether you’re in an established branch looking for help or expertise with your projects, or just looking to be inspired by all the exciting things our members get up to, we’ll have something for everything. We especially want to see you if you’re interested in setting up a new branch – just be there with your friends and we’ll be on hand to help you with any and all your queries. All you’ll need is a laptop, stationary, packed lunch and plenty of ideas and enthusiasm!
To keep up to date with developments, please add yourself on our facebook event where applicable.
We must now ask you to officially book your space at the workshop.
To book please email your name to workshop@ukseds.org by Monday the 14th of November 2011.
We look forward see you all there.

Getting there
We will be meeting at the main entrance to Imperial at 9am. This is located on Exhibition Road.
The nearest tube station is South Kensington, which is on the District, Circle and Piccadily lines. From the station the best route is to take the subway (located next to the ticket machines) all the way to the end (there are signs for Imperial in it), then turn left when you reach the top and walk up the road to the main entrance.
To plan your journey across London use the journey planner on the Transport For London website using South Kensington as destination.
