About CanSat

Ethera is participating in the 2023 edition of the CanSat Belgium competition. Learn more about the competition and the organizers.


CanSat Europe is an international competition organized by the European Space Agency. The goal of the project is to design and create a satellite that fits into a typical 33 cl soda can. This can will be launched to an altitude of 1 km, and will gather data such as temperature and atmospheric pressure which constitutes the primary mission. Every team can also choose a secondary mission to accomplish for their project.

Before participating in the international contest, teams need to enter the national competition: we are participating in the CanSat Belgium contest (@CanSat.Belgium on Facebook), organised by Innoviris. Each country then selects one team that will represent them at the next stage of the competition!
