Space Technologies at Cal: TIME II + Lunar Hopper

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: STAC

Home: California, United States

Space Technologies at Cal (STAC) is not a typical engineering club at UC Berkeley that focuses on a set competition, but rather we focus on making strides in innovating space technologies. Our initiatives ranging from CubeSats and autonomous rovers to biological microgravity experiments aimed at improving life here on Earth and exploring the cosmos. The two projects on display are TIME II and Lunar Hopper. TIME II, or The Interstellar Microgravity Experiments, is testing the effects of antibiotics on the gene expression of E.coli, a common infective bacteria, in microgravity to better plan for a human future in space. Lunar Hopper is developing an autonomous jumping robot to explore cratered regions of the moon and map ice deposits that can sustain a long-term human presence.

Sailing to the Moon in Search of Water

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Andrew Filo

Home: California, United States

Sailing to the Moon in Search of Water is a game changer for manned and unmanned missions to moon and beyond. Water is a critical substance for life and propellant.. FLEA (Femto Lunar Exploration Apparatus) is a low cost mission to deliver multiple passive seismic sensors on the lunar surface at greater frequency and covering more areas like the poles and far side of the moon. There are 3 main components to this program a Mothership, 4 solar Sails , each carrying a dozen Femto Landers or FLEAs. The Mothership when on orbit will deploy the sails. Traveling to and from the moon the sails will take advantage of the lunar and solar phase. On approach to moon the sail will release the FLEAs to create pattern of on the lunar surface. Data from the FLEAs is relayed t by the Sails
