ONION PROJECT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The onionsat story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our team's first satellite was a 3 decileter soda-can-sized CanSat satellite, built for the 2024 national CanSat competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

CanSat, or constant learning.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Building a satellite is cool, but building satellites is not just for nerds. The main target group for the competition STEM<\/a> interested students, but all hands are needed! We managed to make a satellite without any previous technical experience. From soldering to marketing and other soft skills, all the skills needed for a competitive project could be learned in the competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The competition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our team was selected in the top ten, so our CanSat was selected by BME Suborbitals Athena<\/a> rockets, christened the \"rocket\", sent him soaring. Our satellite rose to an altitude of 1 km, successfully completing its mission. Our team won a special prize for its technological work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

About the competition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Building a space device is a multifaceted, yet very exciting task. Our first satellite Hungarian Astronautical Society<\/a> organised by the 2024 CanSat for competition<\/a> we built it. The top 10 teams (including our team) in the competition will have their satellites built in the BME Suborbitals<\/a> with rockets from a rocket-building team, was launched to an altitude of about one and a half kilometres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our satellite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the development of our CanSat, we have focused on durability. We succeeded in creating a satellite that far exceeded the original safety and robustness requirements. Our satellite can be used in metrological areas, because it can tidal currents<\/a> also to examine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
