Abstract

In this study, a CanSat with capability of returning back to target is designed and implemented. The device is a part of project that has been implemented during the CLTP (CanSat Leadership Training Program) in Wakayama University. The CanSat is controlled by a state-of-the-art MBED 32-bit microcontroller. The main components are the pressure, ultrasonic, gps sensors and the 2.4 GHZ transmitter. The mission is planned for two stages which are flight back to the target by a paraglider and rovering on the ground on wheels. The process will be monitored on the ground station via the GoogleEarth software. The electronics&hardware design and the control algorithm is discussed in depth in this paper.
