Yes, it has been a while since we added some news, but here is the presentation document of the project. We will keep you inform on new upcoming events.
Again thank you everyone for having made this wonderful adventure possible, particularly:
- Prof. Davor Pavuna and the IPMC for the scientific support and access to instruments,
- Mrs. Christine Vuichoud for the administrative support and for her patience,
- the EPFL Space Center and all our public and private sponsors making it possible,
-
Poseidon for providing us the laptop controlling our experiment,
-
ESA and Novespace for giving us the access to the ZERO-G plane,
- and... you for following us :)
Addendum : Unfortunatly we participated in the 9th and last Students Parabolic Flight Campaign (SPFC) as it has been interruped for programmatic reasons, but if you are interrested in parabolic flights for your research ESA introduced the Fly Your Thesis program. Lots of interresting research in perspective...

Hi there everybody!
I think it is time to present our project to other students. There will be, most probably at the end of November, a little presentation in one of EPFL's auditorium. Stay tuned for the exact date and don't miss it!

Ho yeah!!! On September 6th in Bruxelles, Nikolai and Alexei flew to Bordeaux on the A300. 4 hours of fly, 30 parabolas of 20 seconds each! The whole system worked perfectly and all six samples got purified by our system! On the 7th, Mark and I flew from Bordeaux to Bordeaux (sic!) for a second run of samples purification. After so much effort we could enjoy some free flight parabolae. We will soon put the videos and photos of our zero-G experience in Bordeaux!!!
see you soon.

After a long hard night of work, the X-Y table is finally working, allowing the sample to move from its box to the furnace.
Be aware of the pictures of the experiment coming in the next few days (I hope...)!
Now it's time to sleep. Bye everybody.

Hi everybody!
here is the first version of the control/simulation program for our mecanic arm. You need to have at least the java JRE (
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html) to run it.
Simply go to
http://pure.epfl.ch/webdav/site/pure/shared/prog/purerobot.jar and download the .jar file and then double click on it.
