The 4th CanSat Leader Training Program(CLTP4)
Second Announcement
Co-organized by

July 22 - August 21 2013, Keio University, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, JapanScope
CanSat Leader Training Program(CLTP), establishedin 2010 as part of the Japanese national program ofNew Paradigm of Space Development andUtilization Opened by Micro/Nano-satellites with
Reasonably Reliable Systems "Hodoyoshi" Concept
led by Prof. Shinichi Nakasuka in the university ofTokyo, is sponsored by UNISEC to provide a training
course for researchers and educators as one of thecapacity buildings in space technology, CLTP#4 will
focus on Systems Engineering and ProjectManagement (SE/PM) through whole cycle ofCanSat development involving design, fabrication,and launch by a model rocket or a captive balloon
or UAV. It includes lectures on space engineeringand Nano-satellite development, and SE/PM, so thatthe participants are expected to learn SE/PM
education methods using CanSat and to be leadersof space technology development in their homecountries.

What is CanSat?
The CanSat provides an affordable way to acquire the students with the basic knowledge to many challenges inbuilding a satellite. Students will be able to design and build a small electronic payload that can fit inside a soda
can. The CanSat is launched and ejected from a rocket or a balloon. By the use of a parachute, the CanSat slowly
descends back to earth performing its mission while transmitting telemetry. Post launch and recovery dataacquisition will allow the students to analyze the cause of success and/or failure.
