Astronauts will collect soil samples and mark off areas of soil useful for aboveground leafy growth experiments.
Your Submission
NOTE: you must submit AT LEAST a link to your storyboard in Mural or an upload of your storyboard as a PDF. You only need to submit one of these versions, but you may submit both if you are uncertain.
Please check the Resources Tab for the PDF template, if you choose to follow that route.
To start, astronauts will take cursory looks at the soil using a UV lamp--checking for strange or noteworthy coloration differences. Using this data, the astronauts then collect a large array of soil samples, testing them for substances like nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus--elements that are necessary for the growth of vegetation. Based on their readings, the astronauts then mark areas of fertility and areas of toxicity with mini flags. At the end, they review the areas and log their findings with their wrist communicators.
