Cansat is a mini satellite prototype built inside a soda can that simulates real satellite functions including environmental sensing , transmitting and logging data

FUNCTION
-The mini satellite collects, transmits, and stores environmental data for training and research before full-scale satellite deployment. 
i) Data Collection
    • Temperature Measurement
    • Humidity Measurement
ii) Data Storage
    • Guarantees the intergrity and preservation of collected data throughout the mission.

The Arduino Nano serves as the main microcontroller for the CanSat system, controlling sensors, communication, and data logging. The Ground Station is a radio system on the ground that communicates with the CanSat using specific frequencies to establish a reliable connection.

This project successfully records several key parameters obtained from its development, including temperature data, landing stability, and time duration.

*_Conclusion and Improvements:_*
This project helped us understand how a satellite works, assemble its components, and improve patience, carefulness, tech skills, and problem-solving. Future improvements include upgrading the GS to monitor air and soil humidity, building a stronger satellite body, and adding an SOS light and camera.
