Welcome to UKSEDS Competitions 2023-24

Welcome to UKSEDS Competitions! Our competitions aim to promote the space industry as a career path for students and help them develop key industry-relevant skills. We run five competitions focused on rocketry, rover design, satellite design and in-orbit servicing & manufacturing. Read more about our competitions below.

Registration for all 2023-2024 competitions has now closed.
