    Design and Analysis of a Modular CanSat Rocket

    The current study focused on design and analysis of a modular CanSat rocket intended to reduce the cost of the modular rocket, which is reusable and carry a payload consists of two CanSats, and it is powered by a solid propellant rocket motor, which is a commercial type to reduce the total cost and complexity. The majority of the emphasis was placed on the design of the motor case and the separation mechanism. This work was done as a proof of concept that separation mechanism can be based on a mechanical system, which detects rocket apogee using magnetometer. Moreover, the motor case and body type of the rocket designed to fit two different dimensions of a motor diameter, which provides different maximum altitude. The study being with the mission design requirements are given to be consistent with standard dimensions of the CanSat. Then, a background about the commercially available modular rocket in the market. Then, a review study for the rocket dynamics and aerodynamics of flying conditions is introduced.

    Design a CanSat for the Iranian CanSat Competition

    Design a CanSat to provide the atmospheric parameters and a video for the flight duration

    The project was to design a CanSat for the Iranian CanSat Competition for the classic category which includes Atmospheric Sounding and Photo/Video Capturing missions. The design constraints were to be a cylinder 66 mm in diameter and 115 mm in height with maximum mass of 350 gr. The data of atmospheric parameters included temperature, pressure, and humidity, compass heading, acceleration, and its location (longitude, latitude, and altitude) based on a GPS module. Then transfer this data to the ground station in real-time and visualize it. During the Photo/Video Capturing mission, the CanSat provided a video record for the flight duration.

    Robot similar Angry Birds to Throw Up projectiles to Hit targets for the Competition

    Design an automatic launcher for the birds using motors and micro-controllers.

    It was a part of Robotics Olympics, which organized by IEEE-CUSB chapter, aims to provide the faculty of Engineering graduates with world-class experiences in the field of robotics and embedded systems. The project started at 8/5/2012 with an intensive training for one month to provide technical seminars in programming and designing robots. Angry Birds Contest was held at 22/8/2012, with two rounds, The first round was at 13/9/2012 and the second round was at 9/10/2012. The contest was to design an automatic launcher for the birds using motors and micro-controllers and any other thing needed. The team was consist of 6 members.
