The ultimate science project! The CanSat kit contains everything needed to build and program a CanSat. The kit includes a set of sensors, a telemetry transmitter, and a computer to perform atmospheric measurements. The kit is modular so it can be customized and expanded.

PLEASE NOTE: Version 2.0 of the CanSat is now available. A limited number of legacy CanSat kits are still available but the product will be discontinued when stock is gone.

The Crablight is...well, it's a weird little pocket LED light with two independently adjustable lights. Not really sure what it's good for, but it's cute and lasts a long time. The battery is the same one used in our Microbeacon and PIT. Options include a Velcro pad and a magnet base.

Updated version of our popular CanSat kit! Thekit contains everything needed to build and program a CanSat.
