The team is made up of Michael Bezborodov, Team Leader and Structure and design Engineer, Jeremiah Egberongbe, Electronics and Circuitry Engineer, Shammas Huq, Software Systems Engineer, Jacob Craig, Community Outreach and Public Relations and Max Vandergrijn, Finance and Funding. The students are entering the European Space Agency CanSat competition, run by ESRO Ireland in conjunction with CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory and the Institutes of Technology. The SGS CanSat is designed to record GPS, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity and UV Light Orientation. It uses a 1km-range antenna to transmit and receive data.
