Antenna

During our visit to the Andenes Rocket Centre, we were given a tour of their facilities. At the telemetry centre the representative from the Rocket Centre explain how they utilized multiple antennas on board their rockets to send data to the ground to allow more data to be transmitted. At this moment inspiration sparked, we had our selves been limited in the amount of data we could send to the ground by the fact that we only had one antenna. Hence, we wanted to try to built two antennas onto the AnaCan Skywalker 2.0 (also to see if it is possible). One antenna would send the measurements from our sensors and the other antenna would send down the spectres measured by our spectrophotometer.

One of the goals for the meeting of today is to test the range of our antenna and to see if the two antennas, onboard the CanSat, work.

Here we can clearly see the two antenna
