BSU Lyceum claims first victory at Major League of CanSat in Russia

      The team BelSat of the Lyceum of the Belarusian State University (BSU) has won the first place at the CanSat in Russia competition for the first time. The innovative competition was held in the Russian town of Dubna, we learnt from the press service of the BSU.
      The team of the BSU Lyceum consisted of Dmitry Romanovets, Ivan Sayechnikov, Vladislav Pavlovich and Nikita Mishchenko. They successfully launched their nano-satellite BelSat Mark3. This was possible due to the successful performance of the Belarusian team at the preliminary stage of the competition conducted at the Lomonosov Moscow State University in January. 
     Before the launch of the satellite, teams had to present their projects to experts and to defend the projects afterwards explaining telemetry and the reasons for possible failures. The satellite of the BSU Lyceum team successfully completed the program and softly landed using the parachuting system developed by the Belarusian team.
     The Belarusian team competed with fellow students from Russia. All in all, 22 teams took part in the competition.
