  • Apart from my normal day job I support the Advanced Plant Habitat experiment. During Experiment ops it usually pays to record the activity or photograph events happening to look back at after the fact to confirm an operation was performed so in doing that I have accumulated a large amount of footage that I think really captures the spirit of the APH program and the amazing work going on for it on the ground that feeds into the experiment on the International Space Station.

    I loved making this video. It is something I very much enjoy working on and love sharing with people. I made this video to showcase and capture some of the process that goes on for space science experiments and show their importance. The review process for this video was very long and had to be shown to a lot of people but in the end I think it was all worth it to get sign off and agreement it was okay to release.

    I've actually wondered about this kinda stuff for a while, awesome to finally see the real detail on ISS experiments

    I really, really enjoyed watching this video, you do a very good job at explaining stuff like this. You should consider making more of these kinds of videos, I would definitely watch them! Good job!

    I really liked this video! You're carrying out a really important job and its really cool to see a very up close example of what an ISS experiment looks like

    Has a former plant biology student who worked in growth room and green house I'm very impressed. I particularly like the concept of "science block" for rationalizing the experimentation in term of time and space with standardized material.
    Even with arabidopsis creating adapted growth and experimentation material is an important part of the job.
    Which means every laboratory has his little trick and accumulated experience for running things.
    And it's hard to replicate this because skills are not something you could learn with research paper.
    Often people internship and PHD are kind of "jack of all trade" making everything which mean it's hard to delegate or replicate there work.
    It's interesting to see how tailoring science plateforme to be spatialized and run by astronaut could help repeatability on earth.

      yeah and even with that on occasion it just doesn't play ball. It took like 4 runs to get the soil change that was made to have a common control.

      @@TZeroSystems That’s why hydroponic is so popular among scientists. It’s way much simpler to control the composition of nutrient solution you create yourself with easy to source supplier, know chemistry, and quick analysis.
      When everything is mineral, everything is (quite cheaply) measurable.
      Out of curiosity, do you know where I can find information about these sciences block ?

      Eventually, I hope I get to. Its a lot harder with private companies and production floor is really controlled. Maybe closer to flight

    Hi! PH04 science team lead here! Great video! I don't believe that I've met you b4? Looking forward to possibly meeting you during the upcoming PH07 experiment

      Woo! I haven't been involved as much but if you have met Fulps on our team ask him to text Rob to come down stairs! It's likely I'm there!

    Hey Rob, this video is great! Thanks for sharing this. What a cool opportunity for a side project.
    Do the control experiments run at the same time as the experiments on station? Or do you perform the control first? Does all of the "practice" on the ground lead to station unit downtime?

  • @julianholstein3840
    @julianholstein3840 2 года назад +1

    Amazing video! So do you figure things out on a 3rd unit and then carry it out simultaneously on earth and station or is there an delay between the control and the actual experiment?

    • @TZeroSystems
      @TZeroSystems  2 года назад

      So kind of. We had an issue with the in space one and we trouble shot it on the ground to figure out a fix and then used that plan and fix to send components to do the repair on orbit.

    this design requires spherical construction like a tiny planetarium and glass blown features or mould cast steel, possibly magnetic to allow a light to move over the plants from a 'created east point' to a 'created west point' changing the angle daily to mimic seasonal changes found in the natural earth environment.

    I'd be really curious to know how plant pest react to being in space, like Spidermites and Fungus Gnats. Would they even be able to survive?
