Introduction
We are a team competing in the Hungarian CanSat Competition. We first entered the 2024-25 competition, on the recommendation of our physics teacher, who later became our mentor. One of our programming teachers mentored us too, and we got to work.
We plan on entering every competition for as long as we can, meaning until we finish secondary school.
The team may change between competitions. We might swap members, or adjust someone's role to better fit their strengths.
We write about the current year in the present tense throughout the site, even after a competition has ended or we didn't make the cut.
About the competition
Each year the basics of the competition stay the same. Teams have to build a small, soda-can-sized device that collects data and sends it to a ground station. The primary mission is set by the organisers, but teams choose one or more secondary missions freely, as long as they can be carried out safely. A secondary mission is about collecting useful data that can be processed and presented after the flight - additional experiments may be carried out along the way.
