The CanSat Competition is a design-build-fly competition that provides teams from across the Globe with an opportunity to experience the design life-cycle of an aerospace system. The competition is designed to reflect a typical program on a small scale and includes all aspects from the preliminary design review to post mission review. The mission and its requirements are planned to reflect various aspects of real world missions including telemetry requirements, communications, and autonomous operations. Each team is scored throughout the competition on real-world deliverables such as schedules, design review presentations, and demonstration flights. A team has to design and fabricate the Mission Statement provided by the Competition and finally launch it at the competition site.
