Abstract (2. Language): 
Students are also exposed to research technique that is a strong motivational factor to work towards a graduate degree. Satellites of 350 millilitres and the mass about 500 grams, called CanSats, are small and cheap enough that most universities are able to design and build them as fully functional satellites. Designing satellite systems in this new, small, and light-weight design presents a new challenge to satellite developers. This research describes the design of a flexible CanSat capable of acquiring information at Near space regions. The data received is presented and explained. Variation of pressure, temperature and relative humidity with altitude are shown in the investigational outcome. The CanSat in this work was designed and built in 13 weeks and was used to generate location information of its flight path and also used to measure parameters like temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure variation of a location in real time with the aid of the on board sensors. The design and implementation of this project is geared towards achieving results which will answer the objectives set for this project.
