[Seds-announce] SEDSAT-II Updates and Recruitment Announcement

[Lavina Parwani]

 Greetings all,

For those of you who don't already know, SEDSAT-II is an international
project based around the design and construction of a picosatellite
(CubeSat) and involves undergraduate and postgraduate students from across
the globe. Since our first meeting at the IAC in Hyderabad in September
2007, we have successfully embarked upon and completed the first part
of ourdesignprocess. This has left us with important new experiences
when  it comes to
satellite design and international cooperation. To document and analyse our
work in the past few months, we have completed a comprehensive Design
Reviewof all technical subsystems.

The SEDSAT-II Design Review Document can be found here:

We believe that it is time to accelerate our progress through the expansion
of our knowledge and experience base. It is to accomplish this end that we
have begun actively recruiting members again. If you are a
university/college student interested in becoming involved in a truly
international student project this might be the perfect opportunity!

Our minimum requirements are that you have completed at least one year of
higher education and that you have undertaken at least one subject that can
be applied to spacecraft design (examples: orbital dynamics, mechanical
engineering, embedded design, attitude determination and control etc). In
particular, we require more personnel in areas ranging from ground control
to attitude control.

If you are interested in learning more about our project we have created an
introductory post at the SEDS
Forums<http://forums.seds.org/showthread.php?t=2955>.
You can also consult our website at http://www.sedsat2.seds.org for further
information and the application form.


With regards,
The SEDSAT-II team
