CanSat 2012 CanSat is a Design Build Fly Competition that reflects a typical aerospace system. Mission : The Mission is to Launch an autonomous CanSat that consists of large hen’s egg and should be deployed at an 470 to 650m altitude, once deployed you should have a decent system that could reduce the decent rate to 10m/s and 5m/s at 91meters eventually.
