CANSAT
First Step into Space
Embedded Files
A CANSAT is a scaled-down model of a satellite, compactly designed to fit within the dimensions of a standard soda can. The task for the students is to fit all of the essential satellite components, such as power, sensors, and a communication system, into a small package. Typically, a CanSAT is deployed from altitudes ranging from a few hundred meters. The CanSAT mission encompasses conducting scientific experiments during descent and ensuring a safe landing.
CanSats offers students a unique, hands-on introduction to space projects, covering aspects from mission planning and component integration to testing, launch preparation, and post flight data analysis.

Through our tailored CANSAT Explorer (CK-2508) educational kit, students get hands-on opportunities to design, build, and operate satellites. Additionally, a dedicated ground station receives real-time telemetry data from the CanSat, providing valuable insights into satellite operation in real-time. This immersive, project-based learning helps them truly grasp the theory and real-world applications of satellite technology. By engaging in the CanSat Project, learners are inspired to deepen their interest in STEM subjects.

CANSAT Explorar Ground Station
CANSAT Explorar Ground Station
Real-time telemetry from the CanSat is wirelessly transmitted via the Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) protocol to a dedicated ground station, where it is immediately displayed and logged to provide clear insight into the CanSat’s operational status, sensor data, and mission performance. In addition, the mission payload includes a downward looking camera module designed for remote sensing operations, capturing terrain imagery and environmental features during descent, which is either stored onboard or streamed to the ground station for visual and analytical interpretation.
