The ESEIAAT-UPC is organising the state classification phase of this competition in Catalonia, with the support of the Secretary of Digital Policies of the <\/span>Ministry of Business and Labour<\/b><\/a>, within the framework of the Talent and Society axis of the <\/span>NewSpace Strategy of Catalonia<\/b><\/a>. The <\/span>Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia<\/b><\/a> (IEEC \u2014 Institut d\u2019Estudis Espacials de Catalunya), the <\/span>Ministry of Education<\/b><\/a>, the Lleida-Alguaire Airport, the <\/span>Aeroclub Anoia<\/span><\/a>, and the student association <\/span>Cosmic Research<\/span><\/a> also collaborate in this edition.<\/span> This year, CanSat Catalunya reaches its fourth edition consolidated as one of the country’s great scientific and technological events aimed at the youngest, with a record of participation that has exceeded all expectations: 98 teams from 50 institutes and schools from all over Catalonia registered in the contest. In the first edition, 14 teams registered; in the second, a total of 50 teams and in the third edition, last year, a total of 70 teams registered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n After the preliminary selection of the projects presented, 30 teams from 20 different centres will participate in the final launch day: 18 will launch on Cosmic Research rockets and will compete for victory, while the rest will do so by plane in a non-competitive launch. In total, almost 180 Secondary Education, High School, and Vocational Education and Training students will participate in the event, tutored by their teachers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n For an entire academic year, these promising young students shave dedicated their talent to designing and building small satellites that integrate telemetry, sensors, and data transmitters, and that are large enough to fit inside a soda can. The CanSats will be launched by rockets built by the ESEIAAT Cosmic Research student association and from aeroplanes, on April 20 at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. at the Lleida-Alguaire Airport (Lleida), in this event which aims to generate vocations for space, technology, and STEM disciplines among the youth.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_font_size_tablet=”23px” header_2_font_size_phone=”23px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n According to David Gonz\u00e1lez, deputy director of ESEIAAT and coordinator of CanSat in Catalonia, “the competition is both a technological and scientific challenge. In fact, it is not just a matter of launching the satellite and getting it back to Earth safe and sound. The CanSats built by the students must be able to take measurements, such as air temperature or atmospheric pressure, and carry out a scientific mission. Participants have to analyse and interpret the results obtained in a critical way. Therefore, we are talking about going further, about putting into practice the knowledge they have learnt in class”.<\/span><\/p>\n The finalist teams will present the results on April 24 at the ESEIAAT at 4:30 p.m., where they will have to present the conclusions to a jury. On the same day, the winning team will be chosen and proclaimed. The winning team will represent Catalonia in the CanSat state final, which will take place on May 16 and 17, in Murcia, from which the Spain representative will be chosen to participate in the European final, on June 20 and 21 in Noordwijk, Netherlands.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#406fda” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Enlla\u00e7os” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Cairo|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#406fda” text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Links<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.1em” link_font=”|700|||on|||#1a1140|” link_text_color=”#1a1140″ link_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#406fda” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Contactes” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Cairo|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#406fda” text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Contacts<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” border_width_left=”1px” border_color_left=”#406fda” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.1em” link_font=”|700|||on|||#1a1140|” link_text_color=”#1a1140″ link_line_height=”1.4em” header_4_font=”|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#1a1140″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
