CanSats
CanSats, short for CubeSats, are a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites. They are cube-shaped with dimensions of 10x10x10 centimeters and a mass of up to 1.33 kilograms. CanSats are designed to be small, low-cost, and easy to launch, making them an attractive option for educational institutions, government agencies, and private companies for space research and experimentation.
The concept of CanSats originated in 2001 as part of a project by the Canadian Space Agency
CanSats are typically launched from high-altitude balloons or small sounding rockets and operate in low Earth
The small size and low cost of CanSats make them ideal for testing new technologies and conducting
In summary, CanSats are a versatile and accessible tool for space research and experimentation. Their small
