MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611050589 A) filed by Pranveer Singh Institute Of Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on April 21, for 'gyro-stabilized modular cansat with dual-redundant parachute deployment and carbon-rod reinforced structure.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Raghvendra Singh; Dr. Manish Kumar; Sandeep Kumar Khare; Ankit Jain; Mohd Faiz; Rahul Kumar; Ritish Katiyar; Lavitra Sahu; Riya Verma; and Anmol Deep Singh.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The following invention describes a modular, light-weight CANSAT system with active gyroscope stabilization and triple redundancy parachute-based recovery systems. The structure of the proposed invention comprises additively manufactured PLA+/PETG cylindrical components with longitudinal carbon fiber rod inserts fixturing with detachable clamp fastening, providing a rigid structure within strict dimensional and weight constraints. The recovery system includes the following elements: (i) An externally deployed primary drogue parachute for immediate post-ejection stabilization, (ii) A servo-driven main parachute that is deployed at a target altitude by a dual servo lid mechanism coupled to the drogue parachute, and (iii) An independently enclosed emergency parachute that is automatically ejected by a servo-latched door coupled to a spring tensioned pressure plate in response to a failure condition indicated by descent data. This emergency parachute does not utilize pyrotechnics or gravity assist. An active gyroscopic assembly consisting of a BLDC-powered flywheel mounted on a two-axis servo-controlled ring-based system can be employed to create angular momentum to counter tumbling via gyroscopic precession during descent. Avionics will be centralized, housing sensors, telemetry radio, controller, and data logging. A battery compartment will be provided with external power access. The invention provides a compact, shock-resistant, and telemetry-enabled CANSAT design, which includes a unique combination of mechanical redundancy, auto-response parachute deployment, and gyro-enabled stabilization, all within a modular 3D-printed aerospace framework for educational, research, and competition needs."
