On 16th May 2019 we had the launch of our third CanSat-Challenge. The goal this year: Transmit as much data as possible to a ground station while the CanSat is in the air. This meant that the teams had to design a communications and a parachute system. 

Two teams competed: PING (Pristine Information Transmission Gizmo) and "Daedalus in a Can". They had been working on their CanSats since October 2018. Watch how their launch went!

The CanSat-Challenge is an introductory program for new members of KSat. It follows the same structure as our bigger projects, but in a much shorter time. It includes courses in microcontrollers, soldering and expert technical reviews.
