DrillSat
This repository hosts the electrical circuits, mechanical drawings and software of our CanSat. Our goal was to develop a CanSat that can help in exploring new planets, as a part of our idea to use CubeSats in space exploration. Specifically, our CanSat, after a successful landing with the parachute, is able to use its leg mechanism and rise into a position from which it can dig its drills to the ground and measure the soil's moisture with a sensor we developed. You can find our ground station here.
Our team, after facing many difficulties developing the prototype, decided to be fully open source and released all of our work to make sure that future teams will not have to "re-invent the wheel".
