The groups task was to develop a manual for the construction of a CANSAT
A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. The challenge for the 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 CanSat is then launched to an altitude of a few hundred metres by a rocket or dropped from a platform or captive balloon and its mission begins: to carry out a scientific experiment and achieve a safe landing.
Our experiment was to measure the acceleration due o freefall
to measure air humidity
Air Pressure
And To measure the earths magnetic field
Our students were to create a manual for the construction of a magnetometer
Then to examine ways to show our work through the medium of Virtual reality
There were Student meetings every Tuesday
