The first prize was awarded to the UK’s Alpha team from Bearsden Academy in Glasgow. In second place was the Icaromenippus 3D team from the 3rd General Lyceum of Mytilini, Strati Myrivili, Greece, with the Portuguese Azorean Shearwater team from EBS Santa Maria, Vila do Porto in the Azores in third place. The judges also gave a special mention to the team from Austria.

 

14 teams of high school students from different ESA member states participated in the competition, which took place from 23 to 26 April. The tiny CanSats were designed to separate from their rocket and conduct their missions as they descended on parachutes to the ground for recovery by the teams.
