Abstract
To build a satellite for countries with a modest research budget and little experience in space technology is very difficult. The concept of CanSat reach every country the opportunity to learn space technology of design, build, launch and operate a very small and simple satellite. This paper presents a CanSat which has been used to teach practical space engineering. The mission of our CanSat is to collect and transmit data from the sensors that are equipped in CanSat to ground station. But the problem of wireless communication is noise that make a lot of errors especially large data such as image. Therefore, channel coding, the extended Golay code, is applied to our CanSat for error correction. And with experienced from CanSat, we are ready to share CanSat education with space activity in our country. This is an excellent opportunity for students in Thailand to take their first steps practical in space technology.
