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
