BristolSEDS is the society for all students of all courses 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!
Some of our activities and achievements include:
- UKSEDS National Rocketry Championship (which we won last year!)
- UKSEDS Satellite Design Competition at Airbus D&S in Stevenage (which we won last year!)
- UKSEDS Olympus Rover Trials at RAL Space and Airbus D&S
- UKSEDS In-Orbit Service and Manufacturing (IOSM) at the Satellite Applications Catapult in Westcott

- 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!
