Figure 1: miniature circuit board with power supplies, a clock, and temperature controller.
Project goal:
The project requires a new circuit board to be developed that is approximately 6 cm x 6 cm, has a real-time clock, has 12, 5 VDC ports and 3, 12 VDC, and a thermal controller (as an example, see Figure 1). The prototype board will be tested as a controller for a yeast/algal bioreactor that will be deployed on the ISS or a Lunar mission. The board should be programable in Python script.
You will:
- learn how to create a study design
- be able to plan and structure projects
- gain an insight into space biology
