A world tournament that competes for results for missions.The two teams at Tokyo Institute of Technology designed and produced based on what they learned in the classes "Space Engineering Practical Project" and "Space System Project".
The tournament was held in September 2018 in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, with a total of 9 teams from seven countries, including 15 Japanese teams that passed the preliminary screening.There are two divisions, a comeback competition in which CanSat released from the rocket competes for how close it is to the target point, and a mission competition in which participants evaluate the ideas and achievements of the missions that CanSat executes under independent control and compete for the overall score. rice field.
Mr. Teruaki Hayashi, the representative of Rosette, has announced a comment that "I would like to make use of this experience for future satellite development."
