The CanSat sent continuous, error-free telemetry up to 1 km altitude and through the full descent phase. The design includes a novel feature: a quadcopter-based secondary recovery system in addition to a parachute based primary recovery system. The structure stayed intact, and the team recovered the CanSat The team also recovered visual data from the onboard camera, and were able to demonstrate post processing.
