This is the Final Year Project Report for Project A186 DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A CANSAT (Nano-Satellite). It is done by Student, KUAH WEI LONG of NTU Mechanical Engineering (Specialization in Design). Produced under the supervision of PROFESSOR LIU YONG of MAE and PROFESSOR LOW KHAY SOON of EEE. The objective of the project is to develop operationally ready CANSAT chassis which are mission capable and the Parachute Recovery System which is used to recover the CANSAT after it’s mission. The contents of this report covers the Research, Design, Development, Lab-Testing, Field-Testing and Operations of a Micro-Satellite known as a CAN-SAT and the Parachute Recovery System. This report aims to document the procedures, methods and design paradigms taken by student Kuah Wei Long and serve as a standard for future reference for any Engineering Student Developing Micro-Satellite Chassis.
