The Octanis Project is run by Ana, Raf and Sam.
History of the project
And how they ended up as one of the coolest projects at Hackuarium/UniverCité!
The Payload issue
So, Octanis is building a rover, to be sent in Antartica in 2016.
The main question for them right now is: what should go into the payload, and why?
Payload Candidate 1
- Proposal by: Luc Henry
- Samples for: Human pollution, Biodiversity, "Life"
- Scientists there: What would contribute to your existing research?
- Specify the specs of the rover, sampling volume, range to the base.
- DNA marker, changing color "Life detecting die" - using a "plate" with 24 wells and glass bottom, "Greiner"
- DNA absorbs UV -> UV LED + detector
- Lifetechnologies > PicoGreen
- Luc will make a list of dyes and their requirements
- Online pump small enough for HPLC tubing is required
- Valve ring will be self made
