Primary Mission
Our primary mission is to prototype a CanSat mini-satellite that will be launched aboard a rocket to an altitude of around 3000 m. Once ejected, the CanSat will automatically detect the descent phase by monitoring changes in altitude computed from air pressure measurements.
- Measure air pressure and temperature throughout the flight
- Calculate real-time altitude from barometric data
- Compute wind speed and air density during descent
- GPS tracking for precise position logging
- Continuous data transmission to ground station
- Simultaneous data logging to SD card for post-flight analysis
- Maintain radio communication after landing for easy recovery
