DRILLSAT

Where It All Began

DrillSat marked the beginning of White Noise's journey in competitive aerospace engineering. Inspired by real-life extraterrestrial exploration projects like the Curiosity Rover, Rosetta Space Probe, and asteroid mining missions, our team set out to create a sensor system for estimating soil moisture concentration.

Our mission: build a CanSat capable of analyzing planetary surface conditions to evaluate habitability for plants and human activity. After successful parachute landing, DrillSat uses its innovative leg mechanism to rise into position, drill into the ground, and measure soil conductivity between two drills—directly correlating to moisture levels.
