Working on a space related project? Conducting space related research? Share your work! This year, SEDS in conjunction with the National Space Society is working to establish a larger university level presence at the annual International Space Development Conference and is seeking students to attend and present. ISDC 2012 will be held in Washington DC from May 24 – 28 at the Grand Hyatt, the Student Track will be held on Sunday, May 27th.
The NOVA is now available for download on SEDS.org! ”The Life Issue” focuses on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), a robotic rover named “Curiosity,” which is now on its way to the red planet. In this issue, you will find a discussion of what it is that makes a planet habitable, an overview of the MSL rover, and a review of Gale Crater – the landing site selected for this flagship mission. In addition to all that, we’ll introduce you to the SEDS-USA executive board and look back on the 2011 High-Powered Rocketry Competition.
SEDS-USA is happy to announce the 2nd annual SEDS High-Powered Rocketry Competition. The goal of this competition is to design, construct, and launch a high-powered rocket carrying a minimum .5 kg payload to a height of 3050 meters (10,000 feet) above ground level, as measured by a standard altimeter. A design report will be due to the Competition Coordinator at the beginning of April and all teams must launch and submit final documentation by July 30th, 2012. The winning chapters will be announced at SpaceVision 2012.
The SEDS Holiday Competition had many great submissions this year, thank you to all the chapters whom submitted entries! The SEDS Executive Board has selected to feature the University of Michigan’s submission (below).
From everyone at SEDS, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
