Winners

1st Place : Universiti Industri Selangor (UNiSSAT V.1) UNiSSAT V.1 mission are to capture, process, store and transmit multiple images which fully operated under supervision of Launch Control Officer (LCO). The main payload of the UNiSSAT V.1 is a CMOS digital camera with other additional sensors such as temperature, pressure sensor and GPS. Below are the images that successfully been captured by UNiSSAT V.

2nd Place : Multimedia University (MMUSat)The main objective of MMUSat is to show that the design of a small inexpensive data telemetry system is possible and could be a platform for the future design and implementation of earth orbiting spacecrafts. The system will have both receiving and transmitting capabilities and will be incorporated with an accelerometer, a light intensity sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a Global Positioning System and a wireless video camera.Primary mission of MMUSat is to act as a weather monitoring system where all the sensors used will be able to gather the information about the weather condition of the area where the satellite is descending. Meanwhile the secondary mission of MMUSat would be to act as an imaging and navigation satellite. The camera will provide continuous video streaming of the surrounding area where the satellite is deployed while the GPS will act as a navigational tool.

3rd Place : Islamic International University of Malaysia
Best CanSat Design : Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia
