Telemetry Project - Conceptual Design

Weekly Sessions!
Telemetry CANSAT was to be designed in these Steps:
-  Conceptual Design (about 1 Month)
-  Preliminary Design (about 40 Days)
-  Engineering Model Definition (about a Week)
-  Detailed Design (about 1 Month)
-  Manufacturing and Test (about 2 Weeks)
-  Final Model

Now, and just at the time, Conceptual Design has been finished and the team has started Preliminary Design and is just going to decide on Subsystems' Details.

The system includes these Subsystems as defined in Conceptual Design:
- Electronics
- Communication
- Software
- Recovery
- Structure

Telemetry Project

The First Project handled in ARI-Space team will be a cansat with Telemetry Mission.

The Team is going to design, develop and manufacture a CANSAT with these abilities:
* Be Launched by a Rocket Undergoing 20-g Loading
* Land Safely after Free Flight from about 2 km Height
* Sense, Save and Send Atmosphere Temperature and Pressure During Flight and After Release
* Sense, Save and Send Flight Motion Acceleration in all directions During Flight and After Release
* Save and Send GPS Location During Flight and After Release

The Resulted system out of this project is going to compete in LEEM Cansat Competition held in Madrid, Spain (http://cansat.leem.es)

Cansat Missions

CANSATs can have different missions. The simplest one is a Telemetry mission, in which CANSAT perform like a Rocket Payload. Another common CANSAT missions is Comeback, where your CANSAT should land as close as possible to a specified target, defined before launch. 

CANSAT can be a good test bed for raw technologies demonstration and test, too. In this way, some of them are designed and manufactured like Rovers for Experimental Missions.
