2nd International CanSat Competition




Only one week to go.
DeSoto team is already finishing its preparation for the 2nd International CanSat competition organised by LEEM; (some people call it the Spanish CanSat Competition, because it is organised and held in Spain).
After almost two months of working the programming is done, which consists of receiving data from temperature and pressure sensors. The internal and the external extructures are prepared for the launch. The little camera that is going to be attached is prepared too; we are currently working in the GPS we are going to include to compare its results to those given indirectly by the temperature and pressure sensor. The Yagi antenna is being built right now, but it will be surely finished before the deadline.
DeSoto is almost prepared to participate in this competition, which for us is an honour, since only University teams are allowed to participate, with the only exception of DeSoto (High School students).
