What is the current engineering design of the Bio-module experiment, and what materials do you plan to use?
Our design is compact, rugged and simple. Maximum mass, sample requirements, resistance to seal failure and case breach are strict requirements controlling this design. We are using strong, lightweight materials, structural integration, and multiple sealing techniques. A preliminary design diagram is shown here and much more information on the design, materials, and rationale for those can be found on our current design page.
