  • MoonShot Alpha at Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS)

    We are building a satellite to go to the moon! Working with a team of multidisciplinary engineering students to design a cube satellite (CubeSat) that will serve as a communications relay for a Lunar lander and it will help us with NASA’s $3 million dollar competition. The satellite and the lander are set to launch in 2017.

    Responsibilities:
    •Utilizes Solid Works to design the Cubesat engine based on NASA's specific guidelines. This engine would provide high thrust because of its shorter transition periods between lunar orbits. Attempting to prove that the complex geometrical passages in the injector plate that 3D printing provides will allow us to print amore efficient engine.

  • Vulcan-1: Sounding Rocket Powered by 3D Printed Engine

    -

    Working in conjunction with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, SEDS@UCSD is the first university organization in the world to design, analyze, and test an additively manufactured “3D printed” rocket engine. SEDS has been recognized by NBC News, Yahoo News, Space.com, and the Discovery Channel. SEDS@UCSD won best design in DIY Rockets’ 3D Rocket Challenge, 1st place in NewSpace Competition, and Best Technical Project at the 2013 SpaceVision Conference.

    Working in conjunction with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, SEDS@UCSD is the first university organization in the world to design, analyze, and test an additively manufactured “3D printed” rocket engine. SEDS has been recognized by NBC News, Yahoo News, Space.com, and the Discovery Channel. SEDS@UCSD won best design in DIY Rockets’ 3D Rocket Challenge, 1st place in NewSpace Competition, and Best Technical Project at the 2013 SpaceVision Conference.

    The Vulcan-1 rocket will be one of the first launch vehicles to be powered by a 3D printed rocket engine. The team plans to test 2 interchangeable injector plates with a printed thrust chamber. The most efficient injector will be strapped to the Vulcan-1 sounding rocket and flown in the International Experimental Sounding Rocket Competition in Green River, Utah.

    SEDS@UCSD raised a successful $22,000 Kickstarter Campaign for the Vulcan I: Rocket Powered by 3D Printed Engine. We created media coverage from ABC10, Engineering.com, Prototype Today, ect. to spread the campaign's reach.
