Welcome to the official GitHub organization of UIU CanSat, a student-driven aerospace and satellite technology initiative under United International University (UIU).
We design, build, and test miniature satellite systems — known as CanSats — to simulate real-world space missions and compete in national and international CanSat competitions.
A CanSat is a type of mini satellite integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. The mission is to perform a space-type mission in a small form factor, including:
- Atmospheric sensing
- Telemetry communication
- Descent control
- Autonomous system operations
"To inspire and equip the next generation of space engineers through hands-on CanSat development and real-world aerospace challenges."
- Design and simulate satellite systems
- Develop embedded software and ground control systems
- Work with sensors, radio communication, and flight control
- Participate in competitions and research in aerospace technologies
- Collaborate on multidisciplinary engineering challenges
