CanSat

Team

We are team of students participating in CanSat competition. Our goal is to make a satellite size of can. We're not alone, we also have two androids in our team - EVA and TOM.

EVA

Parachute

EVA (Environmental Vocation Architecture) is our probe and core part of our mission. She will measure a lot of data during her fall.

TOM
