What is our CanSat going to do?

The principal function that any CanSat has to realize is to take information of pressure and temperature. Every team must develop a secondary function in its CanSat. In our case, the CanSat is going to open two arms with two cameras to take images of the zone where it lands. Once these images are taken, we are going to treat them to make a 3D map.

Due to the fact that last year the rocket in which the CanSat was thrown crashed in a mountain, and they couldn't recover it, this year we are going to place a buzzer that will be sounding since we put the CanSat in the rocket until we recover it, in order not to lose it. In addition, we will add an accelerometer. If it is possible, we will also add a sensor of magnetic field in order to know the orientation of the CanSat all the time.
