CANSAT WITH SELF-CONTROLLED PARAGLIDER AND WORM GEAR TRANSMISSION

Abstract

The present invention relates to a CanSat device with an autonomous flight paraglider system and controlled vertical landing. The CanSat includes a machined upper compartment designed for the early release of a paraglider and to house a sensor that determines the direction and orientation during descent. The device also has internal compartments for electronic boards and batteries, supported by cylindrical rods that unify the structure and ensure its stability. The landing system is based on a DC motor coupled to a worm gear, which transmits motion through gears to a series of supports designed to maintain the CanSat's vertical position during landing. These supports are equipped with shock-absorbing elements that reduce the impact upon landing.The paraglider's control system uses servomotors connected to arms that tension the paraglider's lines, allowing for autonomous adjustment of the flight path based on data obtained from a GPS module. The CanSat offers precise and autonomous control of flight and landing, improving safety and stability in educational and experimental missions.
