Can Drone 3
2023
Abstract
A remote sensing payload was designed around specific requirements, including having folding wings, reading temperature and humidity data, flying for a specified amount of time, and recording video and photo data.
Project Details
The candrone-booster configuration may not exceed 1.5kg, limiting the candrone to 500-600 grams as communicated with booster teams. The candrone must be axis-symmetric, endure 3 minutes of uninterrupted stable flight, record photo, video, temperature and humidity data, and altitude during launch and flight. The vehicle should be autonomous, recoverable and redeployable, and re-armed to to fly again within 1 hour. The budget of the vehicle may not exceed $1,250.
Project Objective
Design a collapsible remote
sensing CanDrone in a team of four students within 3.5 months and a budget of $1250
Mission Needs
Deploy safely from a booster, take at least two photographs, fly autonomously for at least 3 minutes while recording temperature and humidity data, and land
safely at the launch site.
