What is CanSat?
CanSat is a European Space Agency program that challenges teams of students to build a satellite-like device, called a CanSat, to perform specific missions. It provides an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in space-related projects.
How will your CanSat identify fires?
We will equip our CanSat with a thermal imaging camera and a regular imaging camera. By combining the data from these cameras with satellite position information, we can accurately locate and identify the scale of potential fires.
What other capabilities does your CanSat have?
Our CanSat also includes on-board sensors to measure temperature and humidity. This data will provide valuable insights into fire behavior and the environmental conditions surrounding the fires.
What is the significance of your mission?
Wildfires have devastating effects on communities, ecosystems, and the global climate. By developing a CanSat that can detect fires and provide accurate information, we aim to minimize the damage caused by these disasters and support the efforts of firefighters and environmental experts.
What challenges do you anticipate?
Building and launching a CanSat comes with various challenges, such as ensuring the reliability of the sensors, achieving accurate data transmission, and designing a robust structure to withstand the launch and descent. However, we are prepared to overcome these challenges through careful planning and testing.
