Team Impulse designed and produced a semi-autonomous rover, which was capable of measuring air temperature, pressure and humidity, while using an infrared camera to produce a heat-map of the ground. However, the team's IR camera broke shortly before launch but, the damage was repaired fast enough to give a successful live demonstration during the presentation to judges.
The team streamed air temperature, air pressure, acceleration, humidity, radiation level and GPS location data back to the ground from launch until the CanSat dropped below the horizon. The combination of the live rover demonstration, the reports and the data collected were presented to a panel of international space experts.
This is the second time a team from St Paul's has won the competition in the last five years.
