The following specifications and limitations must be observed while building CanSat hardware and missions:

• Except for the parachute, every part of the CanSat must fit within a typical soda can (115 mm in height and 66 mm in diameter). Depending on the design, radio and GPS antennas may be put externally (on the top or bottom of the Cansat structure,  but not on the sides).

• The CanSat must weigh at least 300 grams and no more than 350 grams. Lighter CanSats must bring additional weight to make the minimum needed mass of 300 grams.

• Explosives, detonators, pyrotechnics, and combustible or hazardous materials are not permitted under any circumstances. All substances must be secure for use with people, equipment, and the environment.

• The batteries and/or solar panels are required to power the CanSat. The systems must be capable of running continuously for 1 hour.

• In case the Battery needs to be replaced or recharged, the battery location needs to be easily accessible. There has to be a master power switch on the CanSat that is easy to access.

• It is strongly recommended to include a retrieval system (beeper, radio beacon, GPS, etc.)

• After launch, the CanSat should be equipped with a recovery system that can be utilized again, like a parachute. It is advised to use colorful fabric to make it easier to recover the CanSat after landing.

• To verify that the system will function normally, the parachute's strength must be assessed.

• A maximum flight time of 60 seconds is advised for recovery purposes.

• It is recommended to descend between 8 and 11 m/s for recovery-related reasons.

• When the CanSat arrives at the launch site, it must be prepared for flight. The CanSats will undergo a final technical checkup by authorized personnel before launch.

CanSAT kits that imitate the basic subsystems of real-life satellites are a fantastic way to introduce students to the STEM subjects. The key components and the educational benefits we offer through our customized educational kits for students of all ages are:

Introduction: Providing students with an introduction to each component is crucial. It gives them a theoretical foundation before they start building and testing. This step ensures that students have a basic understanding of the purpose and function of each subsystem.

Manual: Offering a manual with step-by-step instructions is a great way to guide students through the process. It not only helps them connect the components correctly but also teaches them about the importance of following procedures in technical projects. 

Breadboard Testing: Having students test the subsystems on a breadboard is an excellent approach. It allows them to troubleshoot and understand how to diagnose and fix issues, which is a critical skill.

Subsystems: By including various subsystems in the kit, such as power, communication, sensors, and control systems, students gain hands-on experience with the components that make up a satellite. This helps them understand the complexity of satellite design and how different systems work together.

Integration: Bringing all the subsystems together to construct the CanSAT is a crucial step. It shows students how the various components interact and rely on each other to function as a whole.

Real-world Application: This project mirrors the process of building a real satellite, making it a valuable learning experience. It helps students see the practical application of their knowledge and skills in STEM subjects.

Problem-Solving: As issues arise during the assembly and testing phases, students will need to problem-solve and think critically to overcome challenges. This is a vital skill for engineers and scientists.

Teamwork: Working on a CanSAT project involves collaboration, which teaches students important teamwork and communication skills.

Inspiration: CanSAT projects can inspire students to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) related fields, as they get a taste of the excitement and challenges of space exploration.

Overall, our customized CanSAT educational kits provide a comprehensive and engaging way for students to learn about satellite technology and the broader field of science and engineering. It's a hands-on, practical approach that can spark interest and enthusiasm for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects.
