BristolSEDS is the society for all students who are interested in all forms of space exploration, a career in the Space Industry, technical space-based projects, or simply enjoy being around like-minded space-loving people. SEDS stands for Students for the Exploration and Development of Space - its a bit of a mouthful, we know!
Last year some of our activities included:
- UKSEDS National Rocketry Championship (launched at Fins Over Gwent near Cardiff)
- UKSEDS Olympus Rover Trials at RAL Space and Airbus D&S
- UKSEDS Satellite Design Competition at Airbus D&S in Stevenage
- UKSEDS In-Orbit Service and Manufacturing (IOSM) at the Satellite Applications Catapult in Westcott
- European Rocketry Challange hosted in portugal

- Mach23 at Machrihanish Airbase in Scotland
- National Student Space Conference 2023 in Manchester
- Airbus Defense and Space trip to Stevenage

- Openrocket (rocketry aerodynamic modelling) workshop
- Non-alcoholic socials

- Volunteered for the UK Space Design Competition in Cardiff
- Volunteered for the British Interplanetary Society's Reinventing Space Conference at Aerospace Bristol
- and so much more!
As the Bristol branch of UKSEDS we represent all students who have an interest in and enthusiasm for space. The society is open to everyone from the University with a diverse range of courses represented (so many more than Aerospace Engineering!); you don't need any prior knowledge or experience!
