There are many ways to get involved with the Space Hardware Club, from joining our projects to attending our events.
Participation in SHC is up to each student. We are open to all students at UAH, no matter age or background. Members spend 10+ hours in the lab weekly to develop complex and competitive engineering and science payloads.
The Space Hardware Club has never taken membership fees. We are lucky to have a lab that covers almost all expenses of our projects, including your travel as a team member. Our funding is often tied to grants that the students and the university write together. We work hard to keep individual costs to a minimum.
The club requires every member to be in good academic standing. We have voted to require a 3.0 GPA at UAH or 2.5 and uphill GPA. If you do not meet these requirements, you are not permitted to travel or participate actively. It is required to hold a 2.5 GPA to spend time with the club.
The general club meeting is once a month on a Thursday at 8pm and location is the Charger Union Theater. Meetings for projects are decided by teams of said projects and should be posted in SHC Calendar. The main lab for Space Hardware is Optics Lab 307. Most formal activities start at 8pm. To know for sure when a meeting is check our calendar for specifics. Our rooms are on the facilities map.
At our orientation events or during UAH-sanctioned club day events you can find us and ask to be put in contact via e-mail. Once you have joined the club you will be added to our offical club e-mail list. All members must be on this so they can stay in the loop with club activities!
