Our CanSat team in Lower 6 completed their first-ever launch at Strathaven Airfield on the 21st March.
The homemade satellite was launched to over 300m in under a second! On its journey down it successfully measured and transmitted data on pressure, temperature, Infra-red, UV and gas levels. It was a spectacular culmination of a fantastic journey for this team who have developed their concept over the year.
This project developed a huge range of skills including design, engineering, programming and electronics and required much teamwork and hard work.
Congratulations to Maira, Zumrad, Simi, Keisha and Lauren on a superb project and a first for the school!
