Our secondary mission idea has been approved! This is the first big step of our project. We have also assigned tasks to each of the members of our team. #Science #cansatnl #cansat #CanSatSALSA @eseroNL @esascience

We're in the final! The top 10! We put a lot of effort into our metal cilinder, so we are all really satisfied! More to come!

We tested the range of the antenna. One of us walked 930 meters until there was no signal. This is about 1 km in the sky, because then there are no obstructions. aaldurtjuh theartist_gs esero #eseronl #esero… https://t.co/0yy6Ppbmds

05/02/2020 - We just had our test day! It was really succesful; our parachute deployed and we tested the antenna. It has a range of 800-900 meters. The airtime was a bit too long, it was 10.20s. We can decrease this… https://t.co/db2YXzT1mR

Do you have any questions about our cansat project? This is your chance! Information in the photos. https://t.co/RjYW7dM71N

Open dag, kom donderdag in de middag pauze even langs bij het natuurkunde kabinet om vragen te stellen en de cansat te bekijken. https://t.co/4RlGs95mGP

The cansat is almost ready for testing!
Parachute 3.0 is finishsed, the satsite has been updated and the arduino code is almost finished.

We have installed the ballon mechanism. The ballon is filled with a 3v air pump. #cansat2020 #cansat #cansatnl nemosciencemuseum esero @esaexhibitions https://t.co/9oJyBadKWo

Today we tested the antenna communication. We have send the temperature info at a distance of 50 meters.

In photo 3 you can see the arduino nano (green, in the top left) and the radio module (yellow, in the top… https://t.co/mIcnBnpBVd

[CanSatSALSA @CanSatSalsa]

We have our first mechanical design, and we have attached the antenna to the radio reciever. #cansat2020 #cansat #cansatnl #science @esaexhibitions esanl esero nemosciencemuseum https://t.co/tS34YSvyPD

[CanSatSALSA @CanSatSalsa]

All teams made progress today. Me have installed the dipole (double rod) on the antenna, we continued working on the mechanical components and we have almost finished the 3rd parachute.

[CanSatSALSA @CanSatSalsa]

We did a second droptest. We reached terminal velocity at 17m/s. So we'll have to make a slightly bigger parachute to reach 13m/s.

The antenna is almost ready, only the dipole is left to be made. nemosciencemuseum #cansat2020 #cansat #cansatnl #science #esero #eseronl https://t.co/hElA2Fo2Lr

[CanSatSALSA @CanSatSalsa]

Today we did a fall test. We had a g-force sensor on the cansat and dropped it from a height of 8.6 meters. That way we got an impact of 13 m/s. We also dropped the can with our parachute prototype attached to it.… https://t.co/rXecIlI3qB

A lot of progress has been made, here are a couple of photos of the baloon, parachute and the radio communication:

[CanSatSALSA @CanSatSalsa]

Team Antenna and Team Parachute have made a lot of progress. Team Antenna has established radio communication with 2 arduinos. The setup has quite a long range, but not far enough to reliably work on a distance of… https://t.co/WxCXls4aRw

[CanSatSALSA @CanSatSalsa]

We have made our first prototype of the baloon/air bag system. And yes, we are useing a whoopie cushion. #cansat #cansat2019 #cansatnl #nemosciencemuseum #science #whoopiecushion #esa #esero #eseronl https://t.co/5fN8IBFWkI

[CanSatSALSA @CanSatSalsa]

We have tested al three of the air pumps. What do you mean crazy scientists!? @ SALSA https://t.co/h6TAgaQ3jB

[CanSatSALSA @CanSatSalsa]

We recieved our main components for the Satellite from the CanSat organisation. We can start designing the antenna mechanism.
