Inventor(s) include Nikhil Riyaz; Athira Ajayakumar; Dr. Sujitha S; Denzel Abraham George; Tarun Sai Reddy; Shyam S; Hariraj Rajkumar; Sainath Vamshi; Sanketh S Huddar; Ashwin Shankar Reddy; Vishwa Gopal; Sriram Gupta K; Bhavana Savanth; Jaiteg Singh; Joshua Tom Jacob; and Mithun Venkat.
The application for the patent was published on June 27, under issue no. 26/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The patent disclosure covers Novel System, Design and Methods of Compact Interchangeable Stack CanSat (CICS). A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, where all the subsystems are integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. The design incorporates the fitting of all the major subsystems, such as Electrical Power System (EPS), On-Board Computer (OBC), Communication System by using Surface Mount Devices (SMD). The CanSat is launched by a rocket or a balloon. Its major role is to communicate the telemetry and other scientific data (if available) to the Ground Station during its descent. The design covers the efficient use of space in the CanSat by circular stacks, and these boards can be interchanged as per the designer's convenience. The design integrates the use of two communication modules on the same Printed Circuit Board (PCB) to save space. The recovery system (a parachute) is placed on top of the structure which opens during free fall."
