In space, our CanSat could orbit over The Earth taking images with two cameras in order to make a 3D map, showing the landscape of The Earth. The 3D map of the Earth surface is the last step of google to extend our knowledge of our planet.

Another use to our project would be to make a 3D map of the zone of the Moon were the rockets lands, by the use of two cameras located on the sides of the rocket. This is similar to the CanSat Competition, because the two cameras will be also placed on a Rocket. Here we can see some images of the lunar landscape.

Well, I think it is quite clear, but in case no one has realized it yet... the military and surveillance uses are endless --- especially if you have 3D capability. Here the idea would be to sell the project to the armed forces of an "allied" or "friendly" nation that might use such technology for good.
