Abstract: 6:ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION (to be given along with complete specification on separate page)_ - This paper introduces a comprehensive CanSat system that operates without GPS for atmospheric measurement, real-time data transmission, and safe autonomous landing. The suggested system combines a Raspberry Pi Pico with BMP280 and MPU6050 sensors to gather data on atmospheric pressure, temperature, altitude, and orientation• independently of GPS. The CanSat is engineered for a sequential autonomous descent, starting with the deployment of a main parachute at an altitude of 400 meters, which results in an initial descent speed of around 15 m/s. When it reaches 100 meters, a secondary parachute is automatically deployed to decrease the descent speed to about 5 m/s, enhancing the safety of the landing. Throughout the descent, a downward-facing camera is activated at approximately SO meters to take images of the landing area. Upon touchdown (0 meters), a mechanism for impact absorption, consisting of foam and springs, is engaged
