UC Students for the Exploration and Development of Space
UC SEDS is the campus chapter of an international organization dedicated to the studies of space exploration and development. This chapter was formed by three aerospace seniors. Participation in the club allows you to take part in a yearly competition to design, build, and fly a team spacecraft. This past year the team took home first place in the competition at Culpeper, Virginia.
