Today we finished our work on the outer casings. It should protect our CanSat against rain and other meterological effects and of course it should give the CanSat a cool look.
In all we made three outer casings, so we should be prepared if one of them fails.
Interested in how those were manufactured?
Those outer casings are made of papier-mâché. So they consitst of layers of old newspaper held together by wallpaper adhesive. As template we used a glass with the right outer diameter. To optimize the design, we used a styling foil (usually used for cars, etc.) from the hardware store.

Looking quite good, I do really hope that this can is going to be strong and firm enough to endure such a devastating crush as the one of the fall during the lunch.
