(Tiny Atmospheric Solitary Space Observatory with Naïf Instrumentation)   Teacher: Marco Nicolini.     Team members and roles: Giacomo Colombari (electronic systems & hardware), Ilaria Mazzi (programming and transmission), Silvia Campana (on board instrumentation), Tommaso Calzolari, Lorenzo Dallari (dynamics specialists), Giulia Busi, Elena Rebecchi (recovery system).     School: Liceo Scientifico Statale “Alessandro Tassoni”, Modena. Country: Italy. Description of the CanSat Missions: We would like to calculate the height reached by our cansat by means of iteration of the integration of the classical kinematics formulas starting from acceleration. We would like as well to detect also the moment the payload is released by the rocket and the start of the descent, the fall condition of the CanSat trajectory. Progress: The hardware, sensors and software have been tested. The acquisition system and the transmission system work perfectly. The software has been written and designed following the hardware constraints and the project requirements. The recovery system has been tested in four different flights in a local airport. The CanSat external module is ready to go.       Last update: 24 August 2010 team website  •  TASSONI (http://tassonicansat.wordpress.com) team sponsors  •  Cedrata Tassoni (http://www.cedraltassoni.it)  •  Confindustria Modena (http://www.confindustriamodena.it)  •  Cooperativa Bilanciai (http://www.coopbilanciai.it)  •  Banca Popolare Emilia Romagna (http://www.bper.it)  •  Rotary Club Modena (http://www.rotarymodenamuratori.it)  •  Comune di Modena (http://www.comune.modena.it)  •  Provincia di Modena (http://www.provincia.modena.it)  •  Regione Emilia Romagna (http://ermes.regione.emilia-romagna.it)
