Deployment of Cansat using Hydro Rocket Launcher System

Abstract

Cansat is a CAN shaped satellite integrated within the quantity and shape of small can. It consists of multi disciplinary work including electronic circuit, design control and programming. Cansat is a payload whose body will consist of sensors and power sub system. In this project we use the cansat to study atmospheric parameters such as temperature and pressure using RF sensor and BMP180 respectively, which are embedded in Arduino and the data transferring is ensured by wireless communication module. The parachute is made using polythene material which consumes minimal weight within the cansat body. It is used to deploy cansat using the hydro rocket and launcher system. the hydro rocket is designed using optimization tools to deploy cansat at desired altitude to collect atmospheric parameters. Once the data analysis is done it can be used to determine the atmospheric parameters and its variations with respect to altitude.
