This year, we are shooting for the stars! Our team is thrilled to introduce this year’s CanSat mission, where we are building a probe designed for space exploration. Inspired by NASA’s Dragonfly vehicle, which is set to explore Saturn&aposs moon Titan, our mission simulates the exploration of distant celestial bodies. We aim to gather valuable data to better understand geothermal activity on other planets and moons, just as Dragonfly is set to do on Titan.

At the heart of our mission is the use of a thermal camera to detect elevated heat signatures from gas vents on celestial bodies. By guiding our CanSat toward these hotspots, we hope to capture important data that can help us understand geothermal processes on distant worlds.

Our CanSat features a modular design with an interchangeable card system, which makes it easy to upgrade or replace individual components. This flexibility is key to ensuring our CanSat can adapt to any challenge during the mission. We’re also using a paraglider wing-type parachute to ensure a smooth, controlled descent and accurate landing near the target site.

As we continue to develop our probe, we invite you to follow our journey on Instagram and track our progress through our blog. We can’t wait to share our adventure and discoveries with you as we reach for the stars!
