Implementation of a daylight fluorescence imaging system to autonomously detect biomarkers of extant life in the Atacama Desert (2006)

Weinstein, S., Pane, D., Warren-Rhodes, K., Cockell, C., Ernst, L. A., Minkley, E., ...

We have integrated a biomarker detection system with a rover for the search for sparse life in extreme environments. The system incorporated a pulsed fluorescence imager, a reagent sprayer, and a...

Dohm, J. M., Cabrol, N. A., Grin, E. A., Moersch, J., Chong Diaz, G., Cockell, C., ...

The Life in the Atacama-2004 project, which included geological, morphological, and mineralogical mapping through combined satellite, field-based, and microscopic perspectives and long-range roving,...

Spectroscopic results from the Life in the Atacama (LITA) project 2004 field season (2005)

Piatek, J. L., Moersch, J. E., Wyatt, M., Rampe, M., Cabrol, N. A., Wettergreen, D. S., ...

Analysis of spectroscopy datasets from rover field tests in the Atacama Desert (Chile), focusing on the composition of the surface and identification of potential habitats for life.

Use of a novel rover-mounted fluorescence imager and fluorescent probes to detect biological material in the Atacama Desert in daylight (2005)

Weinstein, S., Pane, D., Warren-Rhodes, K., Cockell, C., Ernst, L. A., Minkley, E., ...

We deployed our fluorescence imaging system which detects fluorescence signals from sparse microorganisms and biofilms on Carnegie Mellon University’s autonomous rover Zoë. The results of the 2004...

Searching for life with rovers: Exploration methods and science results from the 2004 field campaign of the "Life in the Atacama" project and applications to future Mars Missions (2005)

Cabrol, N. A., Wettergree, D. S., Whittaker, R., Grin, E. A., Moersch, J. E., Chong-Diaz, G., ...

LITA develops and field tests a long-range automated rover and a science payload to search for microbial life in the Atacama. The Atacama’s evolution provides a unique training ground for designing...
