Session
Technical Session V: Forecast for the Future
Abstract
The GeneSat-1 technology demonstration project, planned for flight in late 2005, will demonstrate the value of utilizing biological surrogates and advanced analytical techniques as remote, autonomous monitors of relevant space exploration environments. GeneSat-1 is based on a triple-Cubesat architecture and integrates the power of genetic, biological probes with a standardized smallsat platform to provide a robust, repeatable, low-cost technology validation platform for Exploration research.
