Teams Involved: Science and Mechanical

  • Get camera and microscope specifications for the new science mechanism
    • Focal length
    • Minimum zoom, maximum zoom
    • Resolution, aspect ratio
    • Field of view
    • Unfamiliar with microscopes, but what are you looking for in a microscope?
  • Mechanical Team: Someone in person will need to check things out and give an update on things
    • Get in contact with Asha (he designed it)
  • Grab some electrical and software people to verify sensors
    • At least one from each.
  • Narrow down on 4-5 sensors we want to use on the rover (send to electrical) 
    • Carbon dioxide, pH, temperature, humidity etc.  
  • Software used to analyze amino acid residues (SymBio) 
    • Talk to the software team if this is something we can incorporate  
  • Camera feeds pointing at the test tubes and that is sent to the test station, someone observes colour 
    • The software team could create a database to give us outputs on colour (rather than having someone observe) 
    • Protein assay kit (see if it is more efficient than ninhydrin 
  • Rock guide/database  
    • Create Excel  
  • Talk with software about cameras and microscope (specs we need for rock testing)  
    • Refresh rate, resolution, min/max magnification, focal length distance
