Cansat project of Enrico Fermi Institute Rome partecipated at the GJC 2012 .
WHAT IS A CANSAT? The CanSat is a pseudo satellite of the size of a can that, through two microcontroller (Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V 8 MHz), acquires and processes data from analog and digital sensors and, as well as save them on board through a data logger , it transmits them in real time to the ground with the serial transmission module: XBee 60mW. The CanSat must fulfill two missions. The primary mission is to measure the temperature (TMP36) and humidity (HIH - 4030) , while the secondary mission provides for the measurement of atmospheric pressure (MPX411A) and landing piloted through the use of two servomotors and an inertial sensor (composed of a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope and a magnetometer) which utilizes a graphical interface made specifically to drive the CanSat from the land base.
