Since our last blog post, we have carried out multiple drop tests in order to test the developing designs of our CanSat. We can now proudly state that it has survived the impact of the latest drop completely unscathed. Additionally, we have made several changes in our design, which have enabled the CanSat to collect the soil sample without difficulty. The video below, created by our team leader Emilie, presents the recordings of the drop tests and the pictures taken before and after the drop in chronological order.
We are confident that our CanSat will be able to survive the fall from 1000m and are looking forward to the upcoming launch in Bremen.
