We are glad to welcome you to our new webpage. You will see that this page will update rapidly with the latest news from the SEDSAT II team. We would also like to remind everyone about our wiki-page at http://wiki.seds.org/index.php/SEDSAT-2.

SEDSAT II is an educational satellite project organized through SEDS Earth, involving student members from over 16 different nations and 5 different continents.

On Feb. 13th Alexandra Ruths and Paul Schmitzberger of SEDS Austria took advantage of the SGAC’s Permanent Observer Status with the UN COPUOS and made a technical presentation under the UNISPACE III agenda item at the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee.

Space Generation Advisory Council represents the global youth in front of the United Nations as well as other international institutions and governments. During this 45th session of the UN COPUOS Scientific & Technical Subcommittee Austrian SEDS students made a presentation titled: “Bridging the gap or why students of the 21st century no longer reach for the stars”.

Held in the technological centre of Hyderabad (also known as Cyberabad among the locals), this year’s International Astronautical Congress was a grand affair showcasing Indian culture and space technology alike.

Again greatly aided by our highly motivated marketing and management team, we proceeded to familiarize ourselves with the professionals of the space industry as well as fellow students from around the world. Our paper was presented in a packed technical session, and seemed to be well received by the attendees, who asked several good questions. We also further boosted our numbers by recruiting several new student members.
