"Incidentally a great inspiration to students in the 2011 budget is the support of the commercial space industry." Nelson concludes, "Students are excited about the internship and job opportunities this funding will create. With commercial companies taking over the 'UHaul to orbit' duties of the Shuttle, they see NASA free to explore beyond Low Earth Orbit."

Masten Space Systems SEDS Opportunity

Submitted by hantonr on Thu, 03/18/2010 - 05:45

Masten Space Systems has offered SEDS a great opportunity. They are giving us the opportunity to fly a payload on board one of their craft. Right now, we are looking to get an idea of the interest level from chapters to see if they have any sort of project or payload to fly. The specifications are 20kg weight, must be integrated on the craft, be self-contained, and not use 900 MHz transmission range. If your chapter is interested and/or has any questions, please contact chair@seds.org
