Lastly, the potatoes are still growing, but we expect them to be edible. Tests done outside the cubesat prior to this, growing potatoes in the soil from La Joya, were safe to eat.
The sand is very similar to Martian soil samples observed by various NASA landers over the years. It comes from a very special region in the Atacama desert called Pampas De La Joya. Our lead biologist, Julio, has been…
It is about 40% of Earth's pressure. So low, but not as low as the actual pressure on Mars, which is too low to even consider. This assumes a greenhouse environment but without the necessity to create exact earth…
So, we are regulating temperature in the cubesat. We're assuming the best conditions possible on Mars, which is summer near the equator. This means up to 20°C during the day and around zero at night (if you watch the…
Hi guys, I helped build the Cubesat. Any questions: Fire away!
