A CanSat is a simulated satellite design where all its major components (power, communications, payload) are designed to fit within the volume and shape of a regular pop can. Being inexpensive to build and something that can be taken from design to launch (into the air) in less than a year, it has a particular appeal to students (and me!) to try their hand at hacking on space technology. There are various CanSat competitions around the world:
