SEDS UCSD
SEDS UCSD (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space at UC San Diego) is a collective of students brought together by the common goal of creating the future of space technology. SEDS UCSD draws its members from an multi-disciplinary group motivated to advance the new space movement: the thought that the next logical step in human civilization is not only to explore, but to evolve into a space-faring civilization. Guided by our passion and perspectives on the important of space development, our organization has made a several waves in the aerospace field already: we were the first student group to design and 3D-print a rocket engine (Tri-D) and the first undergraduate group to launch a rocket with a 3D-printed engine (Vulcan). In designing, building, testing, and executing projects to advance space technology, SEDS UCSD firmly believes we must continually keep progressing to achieve the eventual colonization of space.
