The CanSat Leader Training Program (CLTP), established in 2010, is co-organised by UNISEC and UNISEC member universities to provide a training course for researchers and educators as one of the capacity-development programs in space technology. The CLTP encompasses the entire cycle of satellite development, involving design, fabrication, and launch of a model rocket or a captive balloon; lectures on space engineering and nano-satellite development. Through the program, participants are expected to learn space engineering education methods through hands-on experiences using CanSat (HEPTA Sat) and to be leaders of space technology development in their home countries.

CLTP10:

Co-Organizers: Nihon University and UNISEC

Supervisor: Masahiko Yamazaki, Nihon University

Eligibility

• Academic researchers with a PhD degree who belong to universities or research institutes outside Japan are eligible.
• Company employees who wants to use CLTP10 as an education and training program.

• CanSat (HEPTA Sat) Building
  1. Basic CanSat(HEPTA Sat) System
  2. Solder parts on PCB and prepare antenna
• CanSat (HEPTA Sat) test
  1. Wired test for command and telemetry
  2. Wireless test for command and telemetry
  3. Descending from drone
• CLTP Basic Course – Lecture Series
  One of the purposes of CLTP is to learn, through a miniaturized satellite, significance and values of the following basic systems:
  1. Introduction to and Overview of CanSat - Its Educational Significance
  2. Mission Subsystem
     
  3. Command and Data Handling (C&DH) subsystem and Power System
  4. Structures and Deployable
  5. Communication and Ground station
  6. Sensors and Actuators
  7. Ground Test and How to Feedback
  8. Ground-Field Test and Safety standards

  It is also to study how to combine element technologies of these systems for satellite operation, which is called the assembly, integration and test (AI & T) in a broader sense. In addition, the CLTP has an important mission to develop human resources capable of teaching space engineering education, using CanSat(HEPTA Sat) in particular, after its completion.

Certificate of Completion Certificate of Completion is awarded to each participant after completing the CLTP.
