Frequently Asked Questions

The competition is open to all UKSEDS members. If you are not already a member, sign up for free membership today. This includes students (Bachelors to PhD), and we also support graduate teams (as long as team members have graduated within the last 3 years). Team sizes are limited to 15 but there is no lower team limit.

Teams participating in the Satellite Design Competition will have the opportunity to apply for a bursary to partially cover their costs.

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Orbex, we’re also able to offer a grant for participating teams with at least half of their team members identifying as female or non-binary to also provide 50% of the costs for their rocket up to £150.
