Hawaii CanSat Design: Characteristics, Construction, and Recovery Strategy

Explore the design criteria for a CanSat to be launched in Hawaii, including its electronics setup, air brake system, and fin design for a successful flight profile. Learn about the construction materials used and the dual deployment recovery system required for close and intact recovery. Includes RockSim data analysis and flight testing phases for a 5,280 ft altitude mission.
