A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a cylindrical structure. The challenge is to fit all the major subsystems found in a satellite, such as power, sensors and a communication system into this minimal volume. The CanSat is then launched to an altitude of few hundred meters by a rocket or dropped from a platform or captive balloon and its mission begins: To carry out a scientific experiment and achieve a safe landing. CanSat is composed of a Carrier and a Lander. Carrier's objective is to measure and transmit variation in Hydrogen gas concentration; change in temperature; altitude by non GPS system; GPS coordinates during its descent. Release of Lander from Carrier at an altitude of 150 m from ground, imaging in the nadir direction is the Lander's mission.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
