Congratulations to the Evangeliki Model High School of Smyrna Robotics Club students who got the 1st place in the CanSat in Greece competition and will represent Greece in the European CanSat Competition of the European Space Agency (ESA)!
This competition is the preliminary of the corresponding European Competition of the European Space Agency (ESA) and it is very demanding due to the complexity of the project and to the strict requirements, demanding a lot of intermediary reports and trials.
For those not familiar with CanSat (Satellite in a Can), it is a high standard competition posing as a main challenge for the student teams to manage to fit all the necessary systems for a satellite, such as the sensors and the communication system, in a very small space, not bigger than a refreshment can. The satellite blasts off to the height of about a kilometer and makes various measurements, such as temperature, pressure, magnetic field tension, and transmits them through radio waves to the base. In the end, it must land with safety, being equipped with a parachute.
The team members are:
- Leader: Margaritis Christos
- Parachute: Papanikolaou-Dais Gerasimos, Papatheodorou Aikaterina
- Data analysis-Findings Presentation: Konidas Christos-Aggelos, Pipis Evangelos, Balatos Dimitrios, Dontas Ioannis
- Engineering-Electronics: Margaritis Christos, Tsakonas Georgios, Papadopoulos Panagiotis, Fokaidis-Psyllas Athanasios, Kazantzopoulos Konstantinos
- Software-Programming: Margaritis Christos, Pipis Evangelos, Richard Bariampa, Aggelopoulos Dionysios, Georgakopoulos Elias, Balatos Dimitrios, Bakoli Eleni (from the 3rd High School of Nea Smyrni)
- Propulsion: Veli Danae, Dontas Ioannis, Protonotariou Eleni
- Telemetry: Papadopoulos Panagiotis, Richard Bariampa
- Teacher in charge: Christos D. Fanidis
We wish students get the 1st place in the European Competition as well!
This competition will be held in Bologna, Italy, between 24/6/2019 and 28/6/2019.
