The Competition...
The AAS CanSat Competition, run by the American Astronautical Society with support from NASA and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, is a global student challenge where teams design, build, and launch soda-can-sized satellites to complete mission objectives from deployment to recovery.
The AAS CanSat Competition is a medium-level challenge that gives our members hands-on exposure to every stage of a satellite project. From concept design and prototyping through testing, documentation, launch operations, and post-mission analysis; mirroring the workflow of real aerospace missions.
Through this competition, our team learns to:
End-to-end mission design and Full Mission Lifecycle; from concept to launch and recovery.
Launch operations and teamwork under real flight conditions.
Engineering to industry standards with strict technical requirements, requiring verification processes.
Systems integration and problem-solving in a compact design.
Global collaboration with student teams from around the world, a chance to exchange knowledge & skills.
Taking SunSat to the international stage, Team UnCanny will design a CanSat capable of collecting sensor data during both ascent and descent, transmitting it to a ground station at a rate of 1 Hz. The data will include interior temperature, battery voltage, altitude, auto-gyro rotation rate, acceleration, magnetic field, and GPS position.
