The purpose of making a Cansat was more to understand its functionality in "practice" and that ended up making a fully functional satellite, at least as far as possible. Therefore, you can open or paint the inlet with the transparent color and you will see all the electronics in it (which was a challenge to fit 100 parts in only 1817 cm³, which is literally a can of soda).

And just like in real life, this tiny satellite contains a payload of experiments that can be performed once you reach the apogee of your flight. It will receive data such as air density, temperature, radiation received by Juno/Sol and other functions that can be checked in the Flight Log after you activate Activation Group 01.

I also simulated sending this data to a collecting device (imaginary) like in real life to simulate its consumption in electricity and communication, giving a purpose to the craft like in real life. You can simulate this data upload after activating Activation Group 02.


AVALON

A successor launch vehicle to the LET'S GO! (by the way, thank you very much for your attention) which aims to take this Cansat to an altitude of 20km and return safely to the ground. After this last update, the launch tab is not holding the rocket on the pad, so remember to activate the stages as soon as possible (I also tried to put the two together on the same stage, however this made the rocket collide with the turret and divert its trajectory, then the workaround is this).

I hope this craft helps you to understand a little bit of real life small rocket launches and small satellite technologies and how important this is for the continued scientific development among future scientists.

And as always, have fun :)
