dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses a modular open source electronic soil analysis system embedded in a remote vehicle designed for use on a colonizationeffort Mars rover. The embedded system consists of a soil extraction drill sheath, a temperature and moisture array sensor sheath, a sample return bay specialized for RamanFluorescence spectrometry, and an Ethernet bridge radio for communication, all controlled through several microcontroller boards. A Windowsbased graphical engagement application provides real time control. A Linuxbased scripting application provides postprocessing, graphing, and statistical analysis. All software and electrical hardware has been made opensource for the public to build upon. | |
