What is the CanSat competition?
A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. The challenge for students is to fit all the major subsystems found in a satellite, such as power, sensors and a communication system, into this minimal volume.
The competition is open to teams from any school or college in the UK. Team members must be over the age of 14 at the time of the competition.
