Expression of interest for research infrastructure activities within Europlanet Project in the FP7
Objectives
Mobile laboratories+
Communication technologies
Mobile facility for remote exploration of planetary
analoguesVirtual presence:
- Internet- Via satellite- Remote operation software- Instrument
Potential interest sites:
- Rio Tinto (Spain)- Tirez Lake (Spain)- Frasassi Caves (Italy)- Chott El Jerif (Tunisia)
Details: bio-geo-chemical lab.
Potential (already used) instrument are:
- SOLID- Driller (MARTE)- PCR- Tri-spec (Raman+UV+IR)- Thermofluorescence- Ion Chromatograph- Gas Chromatograph- Multiparameter probe (pH, conductivity, temperature, redox, …)- Spectrophotometer - Remotely operated microscope
Major outcomes
Cooperation and collaboration network
Providing scientists a chance to study other
environments/scenarios with minimum cost
and resources
Exploration of planetary analogues
Development of new technology
(exportable to other fields)
Open issues
