ManSEDS is a society at the University of Manchester dedicated to the passion for space exploration and rocketry. We bring together students from across engineering, physics, astronomy, and many other disciplines who share a curiosity for space and a drive to build real hardware.

Our society gives students the opportunity to learn about rockets and gain hands‑on practical engineering experience, from designing and building launch vehicles to developing satellite payloads, rovers, and propulsion systems. Whether you’re completely new to space or already deep into aerospace engineering, ManSEDS provides a place to learn, experiment, and work on genuinely exciting projects.

We inspire and educate our members through workshops, talks, and practical sessions focused on rocketry and space technology. Alongside this, we run ambitious technical projects, attend national competitions, and carry out real launch campaigns. It’s a chance to explore your curiosity, develop new skills, and be part of a team that does cool, challenging, and meaningful work in space engineering.
