Company Profile
What do SEDS members do?
SEDS members are people interested in doing as much as they can to
promote space exploration and development. The fir st step in this
continual process is learning. SEDS provides an excellent environment in
which to obtain access to many sources of information including
speakers, tours, films, discussion groups & daily NASA updates.
Astronomical observ ing trips and tours of local space facilities also
play a significant role in the life of many SEDS members. For a sample
of some exciting SEDS activities, see the
Special Projects page.
SEDS members often take the knowledge they have gained and use it to
influence the future of the space program. Students at several chapters
have played major roles in organizing large conferences and have
established important contacts with members of the space community.
Others have helped increase public awareness of the benefits of space
exploration by offering presentations to local primary and secondary
schools as well as universities. All chapters keep in contact with each
other through on-line computer networks.
Finally, SEDS provides an environment in which people of common
interests can relax and freely discuss issues important to them.
What can SEDS do for you?
SEDS can provide an organized pathway for you to begin space related
projects and give you a chance to break away from the usual classwork.
You can also use SEDS as a stepping stone to a space-related career.
Being actively involved in SEDS can put you in touch with many members
of the space, technology, and education community and will allow you to
develop the experience necessary to take leadership roles in your future
career, whatever that may be.
