Dear Student,
Thank you for taking an interest in SEDS-USA. SEDS is a society of students from around the world, promoting the idea that space exploration should no longer be a dream, but a reality for everyone! We do this in several ways, but the most basic way is to reach out to fellow students and share our ideas and inspirations.
SEDS-USA has undergone massive changes recently and is regaining much of the former strength that made it one of the country’s strongest space societies. The organization is rapidly approaching goals that we set for ourselves and for each other; however, the strongest organizations are those interested in broadening their borders and earning new members.
This is why SEDS needs you. SEDS is always in a state of growth. As a student you are in an outstanding position to help SEDS grow, both at your school and the national level. We at SEDS rely on our chapters to succeed and it is only by your enthusiasm that we will be able to take our goals from vision to reality. Only through your work will a new level of space enthusiasm be brought to your fellow students.
We stand on the shoulders of our predecessors. It is now time to take the next step and support each other. The future of space exploration lies in the students of today. I encourage you to explore your opportunities with this group of students that believes in this principle as much as you do. We all look forward to working with you very soon!
Regards,
Rick Hanton
SEDS-USA Chairman, 2011
What new wonders, undreamt of in our time, will we have wrought in another generation? And another? How far will our nomadic species have wandered by the end of the next century? And the next millennium? Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds through the solar system and beyond, will be unified by their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by the knowledge that whatever other life may be, the only humans in all the universe come from Earth.

dear sir,
I am from INDIA and i am currently pursuing my final year B-Tech ( Electronics and Communication Engineering ) at SRM University , Chennai. I have been the system engineer of the SRMSAT ( University Nano Satellite Program ). SRMSAT is India’s first student nano satellite and has been successfully launched and been functional from the last 6 months . And we are very much interested to associate with SEDS and work towards establishing and promoting Space Exploration . So we request you to give us permission to start a SEDS-SRM Chapter.
Hey, thanks for the contact/interest regarding starting a SEDS-SRM chapter.
seds.org is the website of SEDS-USA, and while we do have a database of all chapters on the site, other countries are often specific organizations. You should check out http://india.seds.org/ or the SEDS India facebook page!
