Editor’s note: when we start to send Away Teams to other worlds to search for – and then quantify – life forms imagery will play a pivotal role. Given the […]
The trainees of the ESA PANGAEA2023 course focus on the use of some of the Electronic FieldBook tools suite, under the guidance by the course instructors.
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, NASA astronaut candidate Jessica Wittner and JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, trainees of ESA PANGAEA2023 course, test the microscope connected to the Electronic FieldBook.
Many low-temperature planetary surface processes leave traces of their actions as features in the size range from 0.01 mm to several mm. Syn-sedimentary, authigenic and diagenetic features at the higher […]
A detail of the observation, using the ESA Electronic FieldBook associated microscope, made by astronauts Thomas Pesquet (ESA), Takuya Onishi (JAXA) and Jessica Wittner (NASA) during the traverse in the […]
Editor’s note: as we develop the instruments – our tricorders – to equip Away Teams as they search for life, it is imperative that these devices be as efficient and […]
Having found a site of interest, ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet investigates with the spectrometer while JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi uses the microscope, associated with the ESA Electronic FieldBook.
