|project=International LEEM-UPM CanSat Competition
|host=Laboratory for Space and Microgravity Research
|location=Madrid, Spain
|url=http://www.leem.es/cansat/
|contact=contact@leem.es
|timeline=Applications due by 29 February 2008. Launch is planned for 10 to 12 April 2008.
|description=A CanSat is a "scale satellite" integrated within a soft drink can, that is launched up to 500m onboard an amateur rocket. Inside this reduced volume, all subsystems must fit (power, telemetry & command, recovery, payload) and it must accomplish a full mission. This "scale" project undergoes all the same phases as a real satellite mission, including the launch campaign and data analysis; that's why it has a great educational value for all engineering or science enthusiastic students.

|timeline=Scheduled for launch in 2009.
|description=Archimedes is a small interplanetary space probe currently slated for launch to planet Mars in 2009. The probe is designed as a helium balloon ten metres in diameter. The onboard suite of scientific instruments is primarily geared towards the analysis of the atmospheric conditions on Mars. The device follows a payload proposal by the German Mars Society for a ride on AMSAT’s P5-A Mars orbiter.
