This milestone marks the start of an even more challenging and rewarding phase: prototyping our nanosatellite.
The CanSat competition is an incredible opportunity to design and build a small satellite, about the size of a soda can, capable of performing complex missions. It’s a test of innovation, teamwork, and technical expertise, and we’re honored to be among the teams moving forward.
Qualifying for this stage was no easy feat. Over the past month, we’ve been hard at work developing our concept and submitting a detailed mission proposal. This process required extensive research, creativity, and problem-solving to ensure our design met the competition’s rigorous standards. Hearing that we had advanced was an amazing validation of our efforts!
With the proposal phase behind us, we’re diving into the prototyping stage. This involves turning our ideas into a functional nanosatellite. Key tasks ahead include:
We anticipate challenges, but we’re eager to learn, adapt, and refine our work.
None of this would be possible without the incredible support we’ve received. From our mentors’ guidance to the encouragement of our friends, families, and our school, we’re truly grateful. This experience has already taught us so much, and we’re excited to continue growing as a team.
Participating in this competition isn’t just about building a satellite—it’s about gaining real-world engineering experience, inspiring others to explore STEM fields, and contributing to the future of space technology.
As we dive into prototyping, we’ll be sharing updates, insights, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of our progress. Follow along on our journey as we take on this exciting next step.
Thank you for your support—together, we’re reaching for the stars!
