Illinois Space Society

The Illinois Space Society (ISS) is a SEDS chapter at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We are a technical and professional organization.

The Illinois Space Society 🚀

We do epic tech projects like rockets (think: epic avionics systems) and engines (think: DAQ systems and test software)
