The 3D Printer builds Chlamy's module with elite precision (above)
Much progress is being made regarding the CASIS Project. Currently, the science teams are conducting another refrigeration experiment (redundancy never hurts) and as for the hardware teams, two designs are still in the works. Physical models are printed, refined, and perfected using a spectacular piece of engineering: a 3D printer. This printer has allowed us to create extremely precise and accurate models to use. Also, the hardware teams are finishing up the labeled designs. Moreover, integration with the circuit board has occurred. We have tested many of the hardware creations with the NESI board and we mounted the board into the lid of the space cube.
Every new week provides great encouragement to the project. Students feel a sense of awe and pride when every week, we are getting closer to finalizing the project. It's breathtaking to think how, a few months ago, we were brainstorming bioreactor designs and the software storyboard. Now, plans have come into fruition. Countless experiments have been conducted and a plethora of data has been collected. Actual physical models have been created. The NESI circuit board has been programmed and soldered. We have physical proof of our months of hard work. And to think, one day, our creation will be sent into the never-ending void called space and quite be able to produce life and fuel. It's very humbling.
