SEDS, the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space, is a group dedicated to expanding the role of human exploration and development of space. We seek to educate the public in such a way as to attain this goal. We have many ways of doing this, including educational outreach, conferences, and chapter projects.

We are pleased to announce that the registration period for the Space Generation Congress 2009 in Daejeon South Korea, October 8-10 is now Open!!!!
The Space Generation Congress (SGC) is the annual meeting where the most active members of the Space generation Advisory Council (SAGC) and delegates, made up of students and young professionals from around the world, participate in selected projects. It is a great opportunity to promote space around the world and it takes place in conjunction with the International Astronautical Congress. (IAC)
This year’s projects will be centered around the 5 themes of the IAC: agency, industry, climate, exploration, and peace. A series of industry leaders will be joining SGC to discuss topics such as the history of the Space Generation, how space benefits all people, and how individuals can be more involved in space even if they are not scientists and engineers. The industry leaders will be available to the delegates for small discussions and will also mingle with the project groups to offer their expert advice from years of experience
The closing date for the application is June 30, 2009. To complete your application, please go to:

You should expect to hear of your acceptance a couple of weeks later. SGC is seeking the best and brightest from around the world to be the future leaders in space and we look forward to hearing from you!!!.
Sincerely,
The Space Generation Advisory council Staff

At the end of the year, many companies and individuals make last minute donations to non-profit organizations.
Did you know that in 2008 SEDS applied for its Tax Exempt status?
As we approach the new year, consider donating to the world's only fully student run space organization!
Clear skies and happy holidays,
