Ka’An Sat, is an 18-member team made up of staff from the different academic programs offered by UNAQ, who are dedicated to the development of peak satellites known as CanSat.
What a CanSat? It is a real simulation of a satellite, which faces the same physical conditions to which a satellite is exposed; and which due to its size and weight is considered a satellite peak.
The main purpose of a cansat is to measure the temperature, pressure and humidity of the environment. It also measures data indicating the state of the Cansat such as global positioning, altitude, and amount of battery charge. These data are sent to an earth station, where they are interpreted and displayed, thus being able to make an uninterrupted telemetry.
The Ka’An Sat team participates in the following national and international competitions:
