The competition
 
The CanSats are required to complete a primary task of measuring temperature and pressure during the flight and a secondary mission of the students’ choice. The missions selected by the teams are: advanced telemetry, planetary probe, developing a landing system (airbag), sun tracking and radiation measurements, flight effects on yeast and flight effects on hot ice.
 
A workshop for the teachers involved was held at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands, on 12-13 February.
 
 
Teachers received hands-on experience
This introductory workshop gave the teachers leading each team an opportunity to learn about the basic steps in building a CanSat and how to accomplish the mission objectives. With the assistance of experts from the Norwegian Centre for Space-related Education (NAROM), they were able to learn about data analysis and sensor analysis, data handling and transmission, software programming and building their own sensor.
