The Team
Meet the UCI CanSat Team
We are UCI CanSat, an undergraduate project in the MAE department. Our team competes in the CanSat competition, an annual, international engineering challenge to design and build a space-type system. Every year the mission changes so this year's objective is to build a probe that can be deployed at an altitude of around 700m, transmit telemetry in real-time, and use a parachute and aerobraking heat shield to land safely at an upright orientation which is signaled by a victory flag. Interested students are advised to read the official mission guide for 2024 - 2025
