Abstract

The Can Sat or the Can Satellite is named after this name due to its tiny size (comparable to Drink Cans), its primary objective to educate the individuals how to design a mission and know its requirements, then. Programming it, and manufacture it and finally, launching it successfully. So, the CanSat is called to be an educational satellite that make the individuals apply all the parts of the Space Mission. Our project contains of 5 subsystems, it has the major subsystems found in a satellite; like Coding subsystem to select its mission, integrate the sensors, PCB subsystem to design the boards that contain all the sensors, Structure subsystem for designing the Can Sat and testing, Ground Station subsystem to analyze the data and Recovery subsystem to prepare for launch. The second part of the project is the laser communication technology in which we send the cansat data by means of pulses in the laser beam to simulate the transmission of data in space.
