Mission 03: Pendulum-Candy to Space

The Pendulum-Candy to Space experiment will add an innovative and exciting element to our mission, as a "Candy Rocket" will be lifted to an altitude of 18,000 ft using a balloon. Upon reaching the aimed height of 6000 ft, a pendulum mechanism will be activated, allowing the rocket to drop and gain kinetic energy, capturing unique data throughout its ascent and descent. The mission will showcase our capability to remotely control the rocket’s thrusters, change its direction mid-flight, and detect cosmic rays, contributing valuable data to our scientific understanding. All equipment will be successfully retrieved, ensuring the comprehensive analysis of the data collected, and marking the successful completion of this complex and multifaceted mission segment

Fees for Program: Rs 800/-

The program is in joint collaboration with the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and ISTRAC-ISRO, and is set to be deployed on December 3, 2023.

Key Highlights of Kalam Labs Kids Balloon Sat Program 

Innovative Candy Rocket Experiment: Leveraging a unique design to launch a "Candy Rocket" to unprecedented heights.

Balloon-Assisted Altitude Achievement: The rocket is propelled to 18,000 ft using a balloon, setting the stage for the pendulum drop.

Pendulum Mechanism Activation: At 6,000 ft, the pendulum system is triggered, allowing the rocket to drop and harness kinetic energy.

Capturing Dynamic Data: Throughout both ascent and descent, vital data points are recorded, enriching our knowledge pool.
