Abstract

In this study, a mini model satellite that measures pressure, the temperature and its location. The Project is called as cansat. It is the combined name of the can and satellite words. Can-sized and can-shaped CANSAT -it is new trend in Turkeythis is the first step to reach the space and its technology. This micro-satellite will have lots of capabilities after adding electronic equipments, sensors and GPS. CANSAT is provided to take a certain altitude by an R/C aircraft. Then it is allowed to free fall from the R/C aircraft and it can land on ground with the help of a parachute which we produce.
