An Affordable CanSat Design and Implimentation to Study Space Science for Bangladeshi Students

Abstract

This paper presents an educational project of CanSat where the main goal is to build it with the resources available in the local market of Bangladesh within a limited cost so that most of the students can afford it. This project can be used by the students of different engineering disciplines to begin the study of satellite technology. This CanSat can be launched by water rocket and different parameters like temperature, barometric pressure, altitude, latitude, longitude, GPS time, probe orientation, mission states are sent to the ground station right after the launch. The real-time data are received and decoded at the ground station and the computer of the ground station graphically visualizes the data.
