Join our first meeting this Thursday for our new radio telescope project, ORCAS!! Open to everyone of all majors! Excited to see you all there! 🔭📡🌌

Our Fall Kickoff is TOMORROW, 9/17 from 6:30-7:30 in Shillman 335! If you are interested in space in ANY capacity, join us!! We will talk about how you can get involved with our engineering/software project teams (Rover, Lunabotics, SUITS, ORCAS, RASC-AL, and NEST), the NU Astronomy Club, and the SEDS Business Team (Finance, Operations, and Outreach)!! No matter what your major is, we have a place for you to build your skills, community, and passion for space 🔭🪐🛰️👩‍🚀🧑‍🚀👨‍🚀

At the time of writing, we are 50 unique donors away from a 200 donor milestone to unlock $2k. Help us sent 75+ students to four NASA and rover challenges this year!

Thank you to all who have donated, let's push to hit our $25k goal!

We had such an amazing time last Sunday hosting the annual Space and Technology Expo! Thanks to everyone who participated 🚀🔭🪐

It was a busy fall semester for SEDS, so let’s recap what happened! 🕵

We officially kicked off on September 25th, and it was out of this world 🚀🚀

nuLunabotics was officially accepted into the 2026 Lunabotics competition hosted in Florida later this year! They’re currently developing and prototyping their robot for the competition, and we wish them the best of luck! ☾

Astronomy won a grant from the National SEDS Organization for their radio telescope project, and hosted stargazing events 🔭

nuRover are officially past the first round of URC 2026, and are currently still going through the application process. They tabled at a multitude of STEM events throughout Boston, and focused on reaching out to the community 👯

NEST created a new prototype for their robotic snake, and are running a multitude of simulations with the project in a process known as reinforcement learning! 🐍

We are so excited to announce that RASC-AL officially submitted a notice of intent to compete for the 2026 season! They’ve spent the past couple of months getting off the ground and putting together an application, and we could not be prouder 🥹

SUITS also officially submitted their application for the 2026 season, and are awaiting more news. We wish them the best of luck! 👩‍🚀

All of this was done in just under 4 months, and we’re just getting started 😼Join our slack to find out more about projects you can join TODAY!

Happy ! Power SEDS and our projects as they gear up for competitions later this year! 🚀

Today, Northeastern is matching any alumni donations dollar for dollar (while funds last up to 25k across the university). Additionally, the top 3 student organizations with the most unique donors will receive an additional challenge funds, so every donation matters!

Stay tuned for more events under the stars this upcoming fall semester :)

Congratulations to team SIRIUS for a great week at the NASA SUITS challenge! Test day two at the Johnson Space Center Rock Yard was a resounding success. The team demonstrated an augmented reality heads-up display for astronauts on the Artemis missions, and it has given them tons of inspiration for next year's challenge. They also had a blast working with from the University of Michigan!
