Greetings all,
For those of you who don't already know, SEDSAT-II is an international project based around the design and construction of a picosatellite (CubeSat) and involves undergraduate and postgraduate students from across the globe. Since our first meeting at the IAC in Hyderabad in September 2007, we have successfully embarked upon and completed the first part of our design process. This has left us with important new experiences when it comes to satellite design and international cooperation. To document and analyse our work in the past few months, we have completed a comprehensive Design Review of all technical subsystems.
The SEDSAT-II Design Review Document can be found here:

We believe that it is time to accelerate our progress through the expansion of our knowledge and experience base. It is to accomplish this end that we have begun actively recruiting members again. If you are a university/college student interested in becoming involved in a truly international student project this might be the perfect opportunity!
Our minimum requirements are that you have completed at least one year of higher education and that you have undertaken at least one subject that can be applied to spacecraft design (examples: orbital dynamics, mechanical engineering, embedded design, attitude determination and control etc). In particular, we require more personnel in areas ranging from ground control to attitude control.
If you are interested in learning more about our project we have
created an introductory post at the SEDS Forums. You can also
consult our website at http://www.sedsat2.seds.org for further information and the application
form.
