We were really glad to be able to hand deliver one of the 'Engineering Excellence Awards' to a local college for the first time. The team from City College Norwich built one of the best engineered CanSats in this year's CanSat competition and we really hope this is the start of a lot more participation from East Anglian institutions in the national competition, as the region is woefully under-represented at present with only two or three teams from the rgion entering this year out of 370 total teams across the UK.

Our Year 2 T Level Mechatronics students kicked off the week with a huge celebration, receiving two certificates recognising their performance in the CanSat competition! 🥳

The CanSat involved designing and building a simulation of a real satellite in the form of a can. Our team were the first in the past three years to successfully design and implement a safe and fully functioning landing mechanism in their CanSat - a massive achievement!

Students were awarded their certificates by Ben Jarvis, who is the CEO and founder of Launch Access Ltd - the launch service provider for the UK CanSat Competition.

Congrats team! 👏

With the finals delivered and final photos and report being submitted this week, Launch Access are proud to have delivered a fourth year of CanSat UK! We are very hopeful that 2027 may see some expansion of our CanSat activities to a wider audience, building on the 60+ events, over 500 launches made and over six hundred student teams we've delivered for in the past five years.
