Advanced Design and Implementation of a CanSat for Environmental Monitoring and Data Transmission

  • Unique Paper ID: 171997
  • PageNo: 1571-1575
  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the innovative design and de- velopment of a CanSat model for environmental monitoring and educational applications. The project features a compact, miniaturized structure equipped with calibrated sensors to mea- sure temperature, pressure, humidity, and GPS coordinates. A reliable NRF-based communication system enables seamless real-time data transmission. To ensure a safe and controlled descent, a dual-parachute mechanism is incorporated, enhancing redundancy and reducing descent speed. In case one parachute fails, the other ensures a safe landing. Furthermore, an egg- molding case is integrated to absorb impact forces and protect delicate components during landing. This conceptual design addresses gaps in communication reliability and system redundancy identified in prior research. By offering a cost-effective and scalable solution, it aims to advance small satellite technology, with potential applications in environ- mental data collection and hands-on educational experiences.
