SEDS-USA
Hello Everyone! SEDS-USA is in the middle of another exciting year. Our current national projects include the SEDS Art contest, They Were There interview/mentorship project, and SEDSAT II participation. We are also looking into starting a rocket design competition in conjunction with a small private company. SEDS-USA is in the process of developing corporate fundraising packages to aid members in their own endeavors. Earlier this year, we wrote our first national research paper on the commercial benefits of space exploration. This was a joint effort between students at three different universities. Lastly, we developed a new awards system for our members and supporting organizations
We are proud to announce that our
national conference, SpaceVision 2007 will be held at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology on November 9-12.
The conference will define our generation`s role in space development
and offer several opportunities to become involved in the space sector. This
year`s conference will be host to an opening keynote by Anousheh Ansari on
Friday evening, followed by a great line-up of speakers on Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday will also have a Career Fair, ISU Luncheon, and the annual SEDS/alumni
reunion banquet. Sunday will have an Endowment Fund luncheon to kick off the
funding for the new SEDS-USA Endowment Fund. Finally, the conference will close
on Monday with a series of workshops on the various executive board
departments.
