“…is one of the major subsystems because it provides a power supply to enables communication, flight control and data acquisition to function [3]. Power systems can be influenced by a lot of factors especially when there is higher power consumption which usually causes by the extra load used, for example, rover and propeller.…”

Can-Sized satellite (canSAT) is a small satellite that is used for educational purpose. CanSAT offer student to build their satellites with their creativity which make the learning process more effective. In Malaysia, SiswaSAT is held by the Malaysia Space Agency for students in different categories to participate and build their satellites according to rules set and it should be a low-cost project. CanSAT can be divided into few parts which are communication system, onboard data acquisition, ground control station and power system. The power system is one of the important and heaviest subsystems, it needed to supply power, but weight and size are one of the main concerned as the canSAT should not exceed the required weight and selecting power supply that is matched with the overall power budget that has small size and lightweight is challenging. Therefore, the power supply selection should consider this detail. The power distribution design should be able to supply an appropriate amount of current and voltage to the components according to their specification. This study aims to develop and test the proposed prototype which is named ScoreSAT able to provide data and have enough power supply for the whole operation. Therefore, an initiative to develop the appropriate power distribution design for canSAT is taken to overcome the problem of the power system. Moreover, each subsystem needs to be tested by obtaining the results from the onboard data acquisition and transmit the data using the communication system before integrating into the power system. ScoreSAT prototype needs to carry the system that is mounted inside, thus the space inside the prototype needs to be fully utilized for the whole system to fit in. ScoreSAT completes the mission by obtaining data acquisition during the operation.

“…Radiosondes are also typically self-contained devices that do not mechanically actuate or deploy secondary sensory devices, which are functionalities that CanSats regularly demonstrate [8,33]. Finally, while commercial radiosondes nearly universally utilize parachutes for recovery, CanSats offer the flexibility to test novel and unconventional recovery techniques, such as auto-gyros [15], deployable wings [48], powered propellers [60], and many others [5,6].…”

In recent years, CubeSats have gained popularity as secondary payloads in space missions due to their uniquely small size and minimal weight. This allows for the quick and inexpensive development of high-risk, high-reward investigations. The success of cube-shaped CubeSats has led to the development of a new class of small-scale and low-cost scientific platforms known as CanSats, which maintain a unique cylindrical shape. CanSats offer an even more economical alternative for conducting high-risk investigations, although they are typically constrained by having to operate within Earth’s atmosphere, which contributes to their reduced costs. However, the ability to test and improve space-bound hardware makes the CanSat a potential intermediary technology for continued space exploration. This survey paper seeks to provide a technical definition of CanSats and summarize the current state of the art in CanSat-based research. This paper covers the history of CanSats, their current mainstream applications, and their potential impact on the technology pipeline for space exploration. CanSats have proven to be versatile in various applications, including Earth science, aeronautics, and educational purposes. The lower cost of CanSats provides a wider range of researchers and educational institutions access to near-space science. Therefore, this paper also aims to explore the potential future applications of CanSats, particularly as an intermediary technology for testing and improving space-bound hardware, with potential benefits for future space missions. The findings from this survey could help to guide the further research and development of CanSats, as well as help to shape future space exploration efforts.

“…All the other sensors, microcontroller and transmitter/receiver modules are supported by 3.3V. Besides this, a voltage divider is present to measure the voltage level of the battery through the analog pins of the processor (Bulut et al, 2013). All these components and their placements are shown below in Figure 5.…”

Advancements in technology in the fields of satellite and aerospace systems and the need for smaller yet efficient designs have paved the way for further research into nano and pico-satellites. Smaller systems can prove to be more economical in investigating and measuring various parameters of the atmosphere in a localized area. This paper aims to demonstrate the design of one such system. A can-sized satellite (CanSat) has been designed with respect to the restrictions imposed by the CanSat Competition 2020. The design is developed in a way that allows it to be lightweight without compromising structural integrity. The manufacturing technique aimed to be used is 3D printing using Polylactic Acid (PLA) which allows for greater flexibility in customization and ease of fabrication. The application areas of the model satellite range from space exploration to weather forecasting.
