Nihon University is wrestling with two artificial satellite development projects, which are called CanSat and CubeSat at present. CanSat is the artificial satellite model, which loaded 350ml can size structure with the subsystem composing a satellite. This satellite model is launched to altitude 4 km by the amateur rocket, and is operated while falling with the parachute. On the other hand Cubesat is the project that the student designs and manufactures 10 cm cube size satellite and it is thrown in LEO. We participate in these projects to experience and master a proposal of mission, design, manufacture, tests, launch, and data analysis. In this paper, the overview of our former activity about CanSat and CubeSat is described.
