Space Farmers

High-Level Project Summary

We develop a methodology and a program for automated or/and semi-automated analysis of seed experiments, after their consignation to space by spaceships, which will have inside them an all-in-one laboratory (radiobiochemical, electrochemical, humidity, temperature, wind, wave, etc. labs). It provides solution to the challenge of "Biology Superhero", due to the selection of best mutated seeds for cultivation after safe experiments. It is important, because it will bring progress on the specific scientific field.

Detailed Project Description

We should build a spaceship such as Boeing X-37B, which will expose healthy biological seeds into the space vacuum, cosmic rays & microgravity, which later will bring back to Earth their genetic variation, in order to we select the best mutated seeds for cultivation & experiments on Earth. We can change their biological material by their exposure on space, instead of use genetic engineering to them. It is a most sustainable & safe way. The best mutated seeds that will have positive benefits such as positive changes to their growth & nutrition rate, they must be cultivated on Earth, in order to feed the needs of global population through the progressive lasting cultivation of their kind, after multidimensional experiments for safety reasons. For the achievement of seed experiments into the space vacuum, cosmic rays & microgravity, we can use the reusable spacecraft Boeing X-37B or the reusable spacecrafts-spindles of SpaceX, which will be launched by Falcons 9 in order to be set in orbit for few days, before to land back to Earth. We can use also all-in-one laboratory satellites, which will expose the seeds into space forces, before to send them back to Earth through a sophisticated capsule-spindle launch by the satellite. Finally, for more advanced actions, we should create new generation satellites that will have inside them multiple small flying drones such as the drone of the picture (or such as a mini military tank in order to have access in all the territories, such as ground-soil & sea-water) with automated self-cleaning via air pressure, in order to be launched by them, after they will be set in orbit of space objects, in order to be launched & be landed into space objects via a sophisticated capsule-spindle, for automated or/and semi-automated analysis of the space objects. Each satellite should have multiple small drones. Each drone, which will be an all-in-one laboratory, it will has & few seeds inside it, in order to take a small soil sample from the Planet inside it for experiments of the alien soil with the seeds of Earth, in order to know if it is possible the growing of plants in the alien soil. Each drone must have electromagnetic spectrum panels (such as solar panels, but for all the electromagnetic spectrum fields via multiple layers) in order to charge-load by the space forces for functional reasons.

The analog platform is a Microsoft Excel, which needs sophisticated algorithms-artificial intelligence in order to do automated or/and semi-automated analysis of the experiments, and in order to show us sophisticated diagrams over time.

Space Agency Data

We use mechatronic machines data from NASA, in order to evolve them for the achievement of our idea targets.

Hackathon Journey

It is an excellent experience, because we cooperate-interact with other people from different backrounds.
