In Catalonia, UPC\u2019s ESEIAAT and Barcelona Tech organize the qualifying round, in collaboration with the Ministry for Digital Policy and Public Administration, i2CAT, and the BCN Drone Center. The contest will take place at 10 o\u2019clock on the 27th of March.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister, Jordi Puigner\u00f3, will attend at 12.30 h the launching of the small satellites designed by secondary school students, aged from 14 to 19 years old, participants of this edition, before the statewide qualifying phase. This event aims to stimulate STEM vocations in the new generations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A scientific and technological challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This competition is not only about launching a satellite and ensuring its return. The satellites must measure the air temperature and the atmospheric pressure and transfer this data by telemetry. They also have to analyze and interpret the results obtained critically.<\/p>\n<p>On the 9th and 10th of April, respecting the COVID-19 restrictions, the 9 participant teams will present the final report analyzing the results in front of a jury. The winner will represent Catalonia in the statewide CanSat trial next July.<\/p>\n<p>The i2CAT Foundation participates in all this type of activities, framed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/i2cat.net\/iniciatives-estrategiques\/?lang=ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NewSpace Strategy of Catalonia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Original Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upc.edu\/ca\/sala-de-premsa\/noticies\/la-upc-eseiaat-organitza-la-competicio-cansatcat-esa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UPC\u2019s Press Room<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 60 students participate in this competition, organized by the Cosmic Research association of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7092,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
