What is EDUCANSAT?

EDUCANSAT is an educational CanSat system designed to teach students about
satellite technology, telemetry, and real-time environmental monitoring.
The project consists of two main components:

  • CanSat Module: A small-scale satellite that collects and transmits data on temperature, pressure, humidity, and GPS location.
  • Ground Station: A tracking and visualization platform that displays real-time CanSat data on a map.
  • Rocket
  • Satellite
  • Code

Week 1 Project management:

In the first week, the focus was on setting up the documentation site, configuring version control with Git, and outlining the EDUCANSAT project. This includes an initial sketch, key components, and its intended functionality. The page also details the process of website development and project management.

Week 02
Computer-Aided Design

This week focused on 2D and 3D modeling for the CanSat project. Different software tools were explored to create vector and raster-based designs, along with basic 3D models using AutoCAD and SolidWorks. Additionally, image and video compression techniques were applied to optimize documentation.
