Egypt CAN-Sat program

small Soda-Can. The CanSat is launched by a rocket or a balloon, then descends to Earth by a parachute while performing its mission and transmitting telemetry to the ground station PC. The teams are then able to acquire data through this mission and analyse them, and the performance is evaluated. CanSat is relatively low cost, easily developed and launched and acquire good know-how to students. curriculum
