🏆 1ST PRIZE · UNIVERSITY CATEGORY · CANSAT IN GREECE 2022
A.S.T.R.O. won first prize in the university category of CanSat in Greece 2022.
01 / THE CHALLENGE
From an idea
to a flight-ready mission.
The 2022 project page describes CanSat in Greece as a national space competition organised by SPIN – Space Innovation in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the World CanSat & Rocketry Competition (WCRC).
Teams design and build an educational satellite that fits inside a can, then carry out a mission of their own design and win the 1st prize in the university category !!!
The competition described on the original page spans eight months, with separate categories for high-school and university students.
Design. Launch. Observe.
01 / Build
Develop a can-sized satellite and define the mission it will perform.
02 / Deploy
Launch onboard a SPIN rocket to approximately 1 km, where the satellite is released.
03 / Complete
Carry out the team’s selected mission during descent and return safely by parachute.
In the competition pathway described for this edition, the high-school winner qualifies for ESA’s CanSats in Europe competition, while the university winner qualifies for the worldwide WCRC competition.
