Mach-21 CanSat Competition and Space Careers Conference
Mach-21 CanSat Competition and Space Careers Conference was delivered through a joint venture between UKLSL and the Machrihanish Airbase Community Company (MACC). The event saw 11 university teams spanning 10 UK universities take part and build a CanSat - a satellite within the dimensions of a soft drinks can.
University students were given the opportunity to build a CanSat of two sizes: A Peake CanSat, required to measure temperature, air pressure and altitude, and a Sharman CanSat, more open to innovations and allowing more creativity in the scientific design of the CanSat mission.
The event took place from the 14th - 16th July at Machrihanish Airbase, a future UK spaceport location, one of the 7 identified by the UK Space Agency as part of the LaunchUK programme.
