CanSat Atmospheric Science Mission Kit with Arduino Nano + BMP280
CanSat Atmospheric Science Mission Kit with Arduino Nano + BMP280
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Deploy a miniature satellite payload that measures atmospheric parameters and transmits live telemetry to a ground station. This kit equips space enthusiasts, researchers, and engineering students with a complete CanSat system for high-altitude balloon launches or simulated missions, delivering real-time data on pressure, temperature, humidity, CO2, UV index, and GPS location via long-range LoRa radio.
What You'll Build
A fully operational CanSat with multiple onboard sensors, a data logger, and a wireless ground station receiver. You'll assemble the sensor array, program the Arduino Nano for data acquisition, configure the LoRa transceivers for reliable communication, and validate the entire system for atmospheric profiling.
What You'll Learn
- Multi-sensor integration (BMP280, DHT22, MH-Z19B, ML8511, NEO-6M GPS) on Arduino Nano
- LoRa protocol setup and point-to-point telemetry networking
- GPS NMEA sentence parsing and timestamped data logging to microSD via DS3231 RTC
- Power management for battery-operated payloads with LiPo charging and decoupling

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for final‑year B.Tech ECE / EEE projects, Smart India Hackathon teams, and space technology enthusiasts at IITs, NITs, VIT, BITS Pilani, and other premier engineering institutions. It's also ideal for research labs conducting atmospheric studies or for educators guiding advanced capstone projects.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to start a conversation with the AI companion trained specifically on this CanSat project. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for additional guidance.
Can I launch this CanSat on a real rocket or balloon?
Yes, the payload is designed to fit within standard CanSat size and weight constraints (e.g., 66 mm diameter, 350 g). Secure the foam enclosure and confirm launch vehicle telemetry window compatibility.
Does the kit include software and code?
The kit provides pre‑written Arduino sketches, required libraries, and a ground‑station Python script for real‑time data plotting, all accessible through the AI companion.
How does the ground station receive data?
The second LoRa module connects to a computer via USB‑serial (an additional CP2102 module may be needed). The companion script decodes the telemetry and displays live sensor readings.
Full CanSat payload with ozone, CO2, temperature, pressure, UV, GPS transmitted over LoRa to ground station.
