Abstract

The design of Canister Satellite (CanSat) chassis plays a crucial role in ensuring the structural integrity, stability, and functionality of the payload during its mission. This research paper proposes a novel approach to CanSat chassis design by drawing inspiration from the biomechanical characteristics of the human skeleton. By mimicking the efficient load distribution, flexibility, and durability observed in the human skeletal system, this bio-inspired design aims to enhance the performance and survivability of CanSats. The paper presents a detailed analysis of the human skeletal system, discusses the fundamental principles of bio mimicry, and outlines the application of these principles to CanSat chassis design. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and prototyping are utilized to validate the effectiveness of the proposed bio-inspired chassis design. The results demonstrate the potential benefits of integrating bio mimicry into aerospace engineering, fostering innovation in satellite technologies.
