CANSAT
What is CANSAT?
CanSat is an international competition aimed at the design, fabrication, and launch of an aerospace payload—a can-sized satellite. The mission requires the payload to capture critical sensor measurements during a high-speed ascent, execute precise deployment sequences, and maintain a controlled, steady descent rate to the planetary surface.
Problem Statement
A two-stage CanSat deploying a container and payload at apogee via rocket ejection. Descending under a parachute at ≤15 m/s, the payload separated at 80% altitude and steered towards a target using an autogyro system at ~5 m/s.
The payload recorded two video streams (separation and descent) and transmitted 1 Hz telemetry continuously throughout the flight envelope while meeting strict mechanical constraints.
Our Achievements
In this edition, we achieved an impressive 10th rank in India and 35th globally during the first round. Riding on this momentum, we expanded our team to take on both URC and CanSat concurrently, setting our sights even higher than the stars themselves.
