Company Overview :
Students for the Exploration and Development of Space(SEDS) is an independent, non-profit, student-based organization which promotes the exploration and development of space. SEDS pursues this mission by educating people about the benefits of space, by supporting a network of interested students, by providing an opportunity for members to develop their leadership skills, and inspiring people through our involvement in space-related projects. SEDS believes in a space-faring civilization and that focusing the enthusiasm of young people is the key to our future in space. One of its major objectives is to generate interest and help people in pursuing space oriented careers. Description:
SEDS is working at the forefront of making Space Exploration a popular hobby and develop students’ interest in the field as a viable future career option. The SEDS- RSET chapter, takes the initiative to guide the students of this region to take active involvement in Space Projects, Seminars, etc over the coming years. SEDS members are students with passion towards promotion of space exploration and its development. SEDS provides an excellent environment by providing access to many sources of information including speakers, tours, films, discussion groups & daily updates. Astronomical observing trips and tours of local space facilities also play a significant role in the life of many SEDS members. 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. SEDS provides an organized pathway for students to begin space related projects and give them a chance to break away from just the usual class-work. SEDS also helps as a stepping stone to a space-related career. SEDS gets students in touch with many members of the space, technology, and education community and allows them to develop the experience necessary to take leadership roles in their future career.
