1
Mobile facility for remote exploration of planetary analogues, initiative of CAB. José A. Rodríguez-Manfredi Centro de Astrobiologia Madrid (Spain) Expression of interest for research infrastructure activities within Europlanet Project in the FP7
2
Objectives Mobile laboratories + Communication technologies Mobile facility for remote exploration of planetary analogues Virtual presence: - Internet - Via satellite - Remote operation software - Instrument Potential interest sites: - Rio Tinto (Spain) - Tirez Lake (Spain) - Frasassi Caves (Italy) - Chott El Jerif (Tunisia)
3
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
4
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)
5
Open issues Category: + JRA Enhancing the capabilities of the current suite of facilities as well as on establishing technologies that will be of use for future development. + TNA Enhancing the scientific utilization of facilities … from outside the institutions or countries. Research team: CAB laboratories and other institutes
