Launch Successful!
T+ 29.30.06
Yesterday at 12:00 the Icarus 6 can sat successfully launched aboard a rocket from the Elsenborn Airforce Base in Belgium.
We were successfully able to retrieve all data until impact and save it. Our data includes the GPS, CO2, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity and more calculated from these.
Unfortunately after 3 hours of search and using the yagi antenna to locate the can sat we were not able to retrieve it.
We are currently analyzing everything and will be following up shortly on any information we have on the situation of the can sat and the data collected.

Partners with Schoolingo.org
We’re proud to partner with Schoolingo.org, an AI-powered learning platform that’s completely free for students. They’re all about using smart tech to make studying easier, which fits perfectly with our mission to push the boundaries of student engineering. Check out their website to see how they’re changing the way we learn!
Hard Problems Require Innovative Solutions
From CAD and 3D printing to sensor integration and live telemetry, Ikarus 6 covers the full cycle of a satellite mission. We built everything from scratch—designing a rugged PETG chassis, wiring dual-mission electronics, and coding our own ground station. It’s a project by students, proving what’s possible with engineering and a big idea.
Join Us in Making Space Accessible
On March 21st, we put our hard work to the test with a 50-meter drone drop. It was a bit stressful watching our CanSat fall, but seeing both parachute designs stay well under the speed limit was a massive win for us.
Follow our mission, see the data we collect, and watch a student team take a CanSat from idea to launch.
