What do You Think about the Power of Nuclear Rockets.

By Amila Sandun Basnayaka. Do you believe that we may set up a journey to Mars in 100 days using a nuclear rocket.  Our solar system consists of an average star called the Sun and eight planets without Pluto. This is a really big place not to be travelled by a person. It takes you forever to travel.  But there was one technique back in 1960s developed by a nuclear rocket propulsion. When we were supposed to go for deep space missions, it is mandatory to power a nuclear thermal propulsion. This technology is making progress for potential use on future deep space missions such as Mars mission by 2033. The funding including the mission is $125 million to erect this technology within the agency's space technology programme, compared to an administration request for no funding. If you want to visit Mars using a chemical rocket, you will blast off from Earth and go into low Earth orbit. Then at the right moment, you'd fire your rocket, raising your orbit from

SEDS SL Advanced Space Workshop 2019

Ready to Launch Our Advanced Space Workshop !! As part of the Ares SEDS-SL Rocketry division’s ongoing efforts to engage students Workshop will be held at the Maliyadeva Collage on March 1-2, as well as larger issues to engage students such as why we explore and what Earth-bound benefits are derived from investment in space. After the presentation, the attendees engage with the project, ranging from international partnership to technical innovations about the operati on of solid rocket motors.his workshop focuses on chemical rocket propulsion systems for launch, and flight. It studies the modeling of solid rocket engines. Thermochemistry, prediction of specific impulse, and nozzle flows including real gas and kinetic effects will also be covered. Other topics to be covered include structural constraints, propellant feed systems, turbopumps, and combustion processes in rockets. Venue  :  Maliyadewa College - Kurunagala Date    :   01.03.2019 Time   :   6.0

National Rocketry Competition - 2019

Rocketry Competition Hey everyone , Sri Lanka first ever Space Competition comming soon. National Rocketry Championship 2019 Organised by SEDS Sri Lanka The global space industry is growing rapidly providing a number of opportunities for economic and technical advances. At SEDS Sri Lanka we want to encourage the future generation that will support this growth by actively developing their skills, therefore we have created the National Rocketry Championships with the aim of providing university students who have had no or limited experience in the field of rocketry to get a hands-on experience designing, building and launching a rocket. Teams are challenged with designing, building and launching a mid-power rocket with the primary goal of reaching the greatest apogee possible. Motor selection will be limited to ensure a fair competition between teams. Teams will also be required to submit a brief technical report detailing their design and build. The above criteria are t
