Building Our Own Satellites: THE GESA CANSAT PROJECT

​The Geospatial Engineering Students Association (GESA) invites passionate innovators, engineers, and space enthusiasts to take part in the GESA CanSat Project 2025, a hands-on journey to design, build, and launch a miniature satellite from scratch!

​In this exciting challenge, three teams of eight participants each will work collaboratively to conceptualize, design, assemble, and test their own CanSat, a miniature satellite that performs a real mission upon launch. Each team will define its unique mission objectives, whether it’s atmospheric sensing, environmental monitoring, or creative data collection inspired by space exploration.

​Through this project, participants will gain practical experience in:

• ​Satellite systems engineering

• ​Sensor integration and data transmission

• ​Programming and telemetry

• ​Team-based project management

• ​Launch and recovery operations

​Join us as we bring space technology closer to campus and nurture the next generation of space engineers.

​📅 Application Deadline: October 14th 2025 📍 Location: University of Nairobi
👥 Limited Slots: 3 Teams of 8 Participants
