About the Program
A CanSat is a small satellite in the shape of a commercial beverage can that performs several measuring tasks. In this course, a CanSat will be designed, built, and tested in the field during a rocket launch. Therefore, all basic knowledge of topics related to the exciting area of space technologies will be imparted, and practical skills for the development of a CanSat will be trained. The theoretical units will be supplemented with practical exercises. Parts of the CanSat will be developed in intensely supervised small groups. During an excursion to a site in Berlin where space-related companies and institutions are located, the participants will gain insight into facilities used for the development of satellites.
