The theme of SEDSIC was ‘Developments in Aerospace through Astronomical considerations’.
Endorsed by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) and sponsored by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Tamil Nadu Science and Technology Center (TNSTC), the International Space University (ISU) besides others, the conference met with wonderful success and acclaim. Students from allover India and the globe met at the VIT-U campus for three days of lectures, discussions, and activities. Water rockets, HAM radio demonstrations, guidance from ISRO scientists, and student business plans were just some of the activities. SEDSIC 2007 also marked a personal meeting of the international SEDS community in a generation and the initiation of greater activities within SEDS-India.
The success story continued with VITU again hosting the first ever SEDS-INDIA national conference in the year 2009.
With the theme of 'Vision for Indian Space Programme' , the conference saw the participation of more than 200 national participants.
The main attraction of the conference was the NATIONAL SMALL SATELLITE SYMPOSIUM' which provided a platform for students all over the country to discuss the progress and have their cubesat project analysed by a panel of great ISRO scientists.
This year we are continuing this trend and organising SINC'10.
The venue is VITU and the tentative dates are 3rd april 2010 and 4 th april 2010.
