Team “Oscar” – winners of the CanSat 2026 final!

In mid-May, at the CanSat small satellite final held at Molėtai Aerodrome, our team, “Oscar”, won 1st place 🏆.

During the competition, the small satellite 🛰️ we created was launched by rocket to an altitude of 1,200 metres and successfully returned to the ground.

For our victory, we received the main prize – a trip to the European Space Agency centre in the Netherlands, where we will represent Lithuania and have the opportunity to feel like real engineers for a day 🔬.

We sincerely thank the event organisers – Innovation Agency Lithuania and the Lithuanian Museum of Ethnocosmology; the partners – the European Space Agency, VILNIUS TECH, KTU and the National Centre for Physical Sciences and Technology; as well as the sponsors: Dr Vladas Lašas, UAB Arginta Engineering, Dr Simonas Kareiva, UAB Kongsberg NanoAvionics, UAB PV Energy LT, UAB Melius Futurum and Molėtai Aerodrome.

This achievement is a great recognition for us and a source of motivation to continue exploring space technologies, engineering and science ✨.
