The Manchester CanSat Project was developed by a team of mainly 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate engineers. They took part in the 2017/18 AIAA & AAS CanSat competition held in Texas, USA, which they won. The team designed and built their CanSat to achieve the set mission of the competition over a year with help through funding from sponsors to pay for sub system components and travel costs. They developed review documents with progress through the year and performed a drop from a rocket to test the systems in the US, and then presented the outcomes of their test flight.
