It is a competition of the scientific🔭 and technological 💻scope, which helps young people to understand how an engineer works. What is a Cansat? The CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite🛰, integrated inside a container the size of a can🥫.

The name, in fact, comes from here: CanSat → CAN + SATellite. The CanSat is thrown from a height of 1000 metres and it starts detecting and analysing data📊 from the environment while descending with a parachute🪂.

Objective The CanSat has two missions: the primary objective, which is the same for everyone, and it is to detect the temperature🌡 and atmospheric pressure. On the other hand, the secondary objective is chosen by every CanSat team. Creativity here is an important factor.

Launch The regional launch is made in Lleida airport, with a rocket🚀 built by UPC. The best CanSat classifies for the national competition, and it is launched again in Granada, Andalucía.

The same process is made with the classification for the European🇪🇺 competition, which will be held at a European city that is still unknown. In all of the phases, the CanSat will reach the height of 1000 metres with the rocket, and there it will be let go.

The parachute will open and the CanSat will reach a terminal velocity. What opportunities does CanSat offer? The CanSat competition helps young people develop abilities related to project management and engineering.

They see how companies in the innovation sector work, and what their future job could look like. They also have the opportunity to communicate with companies and learn how sponsorships work.

The VentSat The group “Forat engineering” is developing its CanSat: VentSat. We’ve been working on it for a few months, and recently started looking for sponsorships and opening social media accounts.

Soon we’ll start posting new information concretely about our CanSat, so stay tuned‼ Have you got any questions? If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask us via comments or DM📩. We can't wait to read them!
