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
