So, Octanis is building a rover, to be sent in Antartica in 2016.<br>
 
The main question for them right now is: what should go into the payload, and why?

* Specify the specs of the rover, sampling volume, range to the base.

Owl Scanner

- The concept:

Bird conservation scientists use nesting boxes to follow populations. In particular, researchers working with Great Tit, Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Hoopoe and Wryneck are commonly counting the breeding population by regularly inspecting boxes disseminated across the Swiss territory (and beyond).

By using LoRa technology in combination with relevent set of sensors, the process could be simplified and a lot of time (and fuel) saved by remote sensing the activity of birds inside the nests.
