1. CanSat
“A CanSat contains all the major subsystems of a real satellite, such as power and communications.  The only difference is that it will not go into orbit. It will be launched on a drone or a rocket that will travel up to an altitude of 400m — 1 km, deploy its parachute, and land safely. The CanSats must perform a primary mission, which consists of transmitting data of temperature and pressure measurements, and a secondary mission, which is up to your imagination.”
Take part in the Nordic CanSat competition:
Autumn, plan and build
January: submit written technical proposal
End of March: submit Final Design Report
Week in April: Nordic competition, Andoya Space Center, Norway (4 people)
CAS project:
4-6 people (could be more)
Team leader, hardware department, software department, outreach department
Regular meetings throughout the year, documented in ManageBac

2. On Monday: quiz on ch !

3. Graphs and line of best fit:
Mark all data points clearly
Include quantity and unit on axes
Use error bars when possible
NEVER play ”connect the dots”.
Add a tredline (straight or curved), show the equation
If we get a straight line we often want to know the slope and the intercept (crossing the y-axis)
Draw a graph and find the line of best fit:
Time (a)
Mass (kg)
Error (kg) 5 35 10 53 15 74

4. Write a minimini report (less than one page) with
Measure mass and volume of an object, calculate density including uncertainty

Measurements
Calculations
Answer (including uncertainty!)
