Flyer/Ground Crew Flyer Alternate Flyer Flyer Ground Crew Ground Crew

The experiment is being flown as part of the High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program from a Project Lead The Way (PLTW) school. It was designed by the students of the Engineering Design and Development program at Clear Springs High School in League City, Texas.

The plant growth chamber will grow legumes that will be supported by our artificial biome. A plant growth chamber has been developed to reduce the need for food resupply in space, especially for long duration missions. The experiment will test plant viability of the Medicago truncatula because it is easy and fast to grow, which is ideal for multiple trials. The chamber should allow enough room for the plant to grow while meeting the regulations and constraints provided by NanoLabs. Some of these requirements are an end-cap microcontroller, a camera as a part of the microcontroller and positioned over the plant chamber to take pictures for data, three levels of water containment (metal box, IV bag and tubing, inside box), more space for the plant, and the chamber is automated through the

Experiment Title: Plant Viability in NanoRack Doc. Version: 1 Food Growth Chamber Organization: Clear Springs Date: Page: 7

microcontroller system that has been developed by Texas A&M University. Power will be delivered to the experiment via the laptop USB controlled by a laptop and is completely automated. The constraints are the size 10 X 10 X 15 cm cubed units, zero gravity environment, water cannot touch the electrical system, and low current for solenoid valve/ pinch valve/ sensors. The system will include LED lights, a water distributor, Gore-Tex, rock wool, a camera, and sensors that will measure moisture and carbon dioxide. Two years ago, an aeroponics design used a water misting/fogger system. However, their project exceeded size limitations as well as had problems with their misting system. Last years class redesigned the system to fit in 1.5U NanoLab and revised the watering and feeding system. The new system involved rubber bands wrapped around two Lexan plates on the either end of the IV bag. Other changed factors include using rock wool as food and a stationary holder for the plants. Also, they utilized a Gore-Tex membrane to let oxygen and carbon dioxide flow freely through the system while retaining any moisture released by the plant via transpiration. The lighting system will be the same and include blue and red lights to give the proper wavelengths to stimulate plant growth and simulate night and day.

EXPERIMENT DESCRIPTION
All components play off one another in various ways. If the moisture sensor doesnt give the correct water ratio, the plant could become either dehydrated or over watered and will suffer as a result. We were hoping to find pH and carbon dioxide sensors but so far have been unsuccessful. If we do find the sensors, we will use them for collecting data and seeing what conditions the plant grows the best under. The tubing is important for hydrating the plant and the water pressure determines how long the solenoid will open to give off the water. The microcontroller controls all of the sensors and records the data. The camera will take pictures of the plant throughout its growth. The food chamber will be in a NanoLab and will be in a zero gravity environment. The microgravity environment increases the difficulty of providing the basic needs for the plant which will affect its growth. So it is necessary for us to come up with non-mainstream ideas of how to go about with the nutrient transportation and water containment otherwise the plant could die. Therefore, the plant must have the essentials it needs to survive on land and in space as well.

ELECTRICAL ANALYSIS The system will be powered through USB via the laptop. The laptop will be kept charging to prevent
power loss. The solenoid valve will operate as a water flow controller for the nutrients. The solenoid will be controlled by a MOSFET, allowing the solenoid to draw power from the main system power while still allowing it to be controlled by the microcontroller (The microcontroller cannot directly power the solenoid; that would be far too much current draw).The microcontroller will produce 5 volts of power to the solenoid to operate. A light system that contains red and blue LEDs will be located under and around the micro controller. There will be a certain number of hours that the lights will undergo a cycle of the

red and blue LEDs. In the microcontroller, it will also charge and control the camera. It is programmed to where the camera will take pictures while the lights are on. A camera module is located within the lights, and will take pictures at a predetermined time. A microcontroller will provide and control power for the camera so it is possible to take pictures, the pictures will be stored on a 2 Gigabyte Micro SD Card for later viewing with a 2 Gigabyte backup.

MICROCONTROLLER ANALYSIS
The microcontroller that we are using will use a USB as its source of power for the experiment. This USB will be connected to the laptop on board so there are no problems with power. The microcontroller will be the brain of our entire system. It will control all of the components in the plant system such as the LEDs, watering system, micro camera, CO2 sensors and systems check. With this control we can create an almost entirely autonomous system. The components that will be used autonomously is the solenoid valve in order to water the plants in the chamber. The LEDs will be autonomous operating in a cycle in order to simulate a more natural environment for the plants to grow within. The camera will be on an autonomous system in order to take picture in intervals in order to keep us updated on the status of the experiment. This will be same for the CO2 sensor except it will check the CO2 levels in the air. The systems check is a completely autonomous system that will check to make sure that all of the components of the system will be working properly. The moisture sensors, that are positioned under the rockwool, will also be on an autonomous loop to check values at random and periodic intervals in order to insure proper saturation of the rockwool. The only part of the system that will not operate autonomously will be the changing of the IV bag that contains the nutrient based solution, which will not be required on this zero gravity flight.

This is the microcontroller storyboard for the zero gravity flight:

1.

In the beginning of the zero gravity portions of the flight we would like to be able to turn on the

moisture sensor, the camera, and the LED lights with one push of the button. The CO2 sensor will automatically turn on when the system is plugged into the power source. Assuming that another one tap of the button would turn all of these devices off. We want to be able to see the values of the moisture sensor and the CO2 sensor on the laptop.

2. When the camera is on we would like for it to be taking a picture in one second intervals. If at all possible we would like to be able to see the pictures that are being taken on the laptop as they are being taken. 3. We would like for the solenoid valve to be controlled by a double tap of the button. Assuming that a double tap would open the valve and the second double tap would close the valve. 4. We would like for the LED lights to cycle through their various light cycle phases every time that they are turned on.

C. Stored Energy- If the system loses power then the entire PCB will turn off. However, there are capacitors on the board that act as power filters so that clean power signals (5.0 & 3.3 V) are distributed throughout the board.

D. Electrical Kill Switch- If power needs to be cut off, removing the USB from the laptop will cut the power and stop the system. The laptop will be connected to a power strip with a kill switch.

E. Loss of Electrical Power (Fail-Safe)- If there were to be a loss of power, the experiment would remain in the current state until power is restored. As mentioned in the Stored Energy section above, the system will turn off if the power is removed. However, all the data is stored in flash memory on two micro SD cards, so in the event of power loss, all the data should still be secure. PRESSURE VESSEL/SYSTEM (PV/S) A.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL: Hydrotreated middle petroleum distallates OSHA PEL (final rule) and ACGIH TLV for oil mists: TWA 5mg/m3 Ethyltriacetoxysilane and Methyltriacetoxysilane Acetic acid is formed upon contact with water or humid air. Provide adequate ventilation to control exposures within guidelines of OSHA PEL: TWA 10 ppm and ACGIH TLV: TWA 10 ppm, STEL 15 ppm.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: EYE AND FACIAL: Use proper protection - safety glasses as a minimum. SKIN: Wash at mealtime and end of shift. Contaminated clothing and shoes should be removed as soon as practical and thoroughly cleaned before reuse. Chemical protective gloves are recommended.

RESPIRATORY: Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure assessment demonstrates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines. IH personnel can assist in judging the adequacy of existing engineering controls.

VENTILATION: Local and general ventilation is recommended to maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where concentrations are above recommended limits or are unknown, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators.
