Cansat is a competition/project organised by Europan space agancy. The main goal of this competition is for students to build a can sized satellite and launch it into 1km altitude while maintaining communication with it and gathering various scientific data.

+

+ CanSats in Europe, an initiative of the European Space Agency + (ESA) supported by local organisations, gives students a unique + opportunity to experience a real space project. A CanSat is a + simulation of a satellite, built to fit within the volume of a + soft drink can, containing systems like power, sensors, and + communication. Students design, build, and test their CanSat, + choose a mission, and launch it from a few hundred metres using + a rocket, balloon, or platform, aiming to complete a scientific + experiment and achieve a safe landing. +

Most important capability of our cansat is its ability to monitor the planet surface and various variables such as thermal activity.

+

+ Our CanSat was designed with a modular and interchangeable card + system, where all the cards are connected through a passive + motherboard. This allows us to make fast repairs or upgrades to + the CanSat without affecting the rest of the satellite. +

+ In our mission, we are simulating the exploration of distant + celestial bodies. We are using a thermal camera to locate gas + vents with elevated heat signatures and will guide our CanSat + toward one of these places using a paraglider wing-type + parachute. After landing, we will analyze the gases near these + hotspots to gain insights into the geothermal activity of the + celestial body. +

-

By far the biggest challenges we anticipate are various technical failures.

+

+ One of the main challenges we anticipate is accurately guiding + the CanSat to the selected hotspot using the paraglider wing, as + wind conditions and limited control authority could affect the + landing precision. +

+

+ Another difficulty will be ensuring reliable thermal imaging + from a high-speed, moving CanSat during descent, which may + impact the identification of gas vents. Additionally, analyzing + gases after landing poses challenges in sensor calibration, + contamination risks, and limited time for measurements before + the CanSat powers down. Integrating all these systems within the + small volume and weight constraints of the CanSat also remains a + significant technical challenge. +
