CanSat "WASP" sattelite project, based on Arduino
- GLONASS NEO-7M-C [serial] GPS Module
- NRF24L01 [SPI] communication module (2.4 GHz)
- IMU 9DOF [I2C], which contains
- LSM6DS33 3-axis gyroscope/accelerometer
- LIS3MDL 3-axis magnetometer
- Pololu LPS331AP [I2C] pressure and attitude sensor
- DHT11 [Serial Single-Bus] temperature and humidrity sensor, controlled by ATTiny24A [I2C]
- Pololu [analog] gas sensors, controlled by ATTiny24A [I2C]
- MQ-4 methane sensor
- MQ-131 ozone sensor
- MQ-8 hydrogen sensor
- MQ-5 LPG sensor
- MQ-7 carbon monoxide sensor
- MOD-13 SD card reader
Additionaly, two servomotors for parachute, voltage converters (D24V3F3 and D24V22F5), Li-Pol battery (Dualsky 45C 2S) and THT buzzer
Most basic quest, which our WASP have to do is temperature and humidrity measurement. Of course, we are expanding it by using a lot of sensors. CanSat will send data to base, and write it to SD card (so it's not lost when we will loose contact with sattelite) Also, there will be provided interface to see the data when it's received in base.
Second quest is tracking down WASP while it's falling down on parachute. We will try to create algorithm for landing in designated area, even autonomiccaly - just by sending coordinates of area. But that's difficut, we don't know if it will work.
Also, another features - sattelite control, by turning sensors on/off for example (cancelled feature, no relays in final project). And last feature - we will be able to make maneuvers by controlling parachute (with 2 servomotors).
WASP Team:
- Wojciech Olech (main programmer)
- Tomasz Jakubowski (electronics)
- Grzegorz Szczepański (sponsors, casing, antenna)
- Mikołaj Sawa (parachute and misc stuff)

We are from Poland, we learn in Electronic School Group in Lublin. We are starting in 2017 edition of CanSat competition. Wish us luck.
