CanSat Helps Students Make & Launch Sub-Orbital ‘Satellites’ (Video)

The Magnitude (motto: “Powered by Curiosity”) “Can-sized satellites” aren’t technically satellites because they’re launched on rockets that typically can’t get much higher than 10,000 feet, or as payloads on weather balloons that can hit 100,000+ feet but (obviously) can’t go beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. But could they be satellites? Sure. Get a rocket with enough punch to put them in orbit and off you go — something Magnitude Co-founder and CEO Ted Tagami hopes to see happening in his local school district by 2020. Meanwhile, they’ll sell you assembled CanSat packages or help you build your own (or anything in between), depending on your schools resources and aspirations. Have a question or an idea? Talk to Ted. He’d love to hear from you. Use the Magnitude Web form or send email to hello at magnitude dot io. Either way works.
