Rubber Chicken in Space A group of high school students from California launched an helium balloon sending “Camilla”, a rubber chicken, to an altitude of 36.5 kilometers. The mission of Camilla is part of an astrobiology project, that aims to find out if microbes can live at the edge of space. Camilla was launched right into a solar storm to be exposed to high-energy solar protons and she was equipped with a pair of radiation badges to measure the radiation, a ship full of instruments (four cameras, a cryogenic thermometer, GPS trackers, seven insects and 24 sunflower seeds), and a knitted space-suit. Camilla flew twice: on March 3 and on March 10. The second launch coincided with one of the strongest proton storms of the year, with satellites reporting solar proton counts at about 30000 times normal. Eventually Camilla returned back to Earth. After a month of traineeship, there are basically two things in which my tutor completely trust me: - writing simple word documents; - making coffee. And there’s a nurse that hates me Walrus in the Chukchi Sea (via USGS) This scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicts a number of Leptospira sp. bacteria atop a 0.1. µm polycarbonate filter.

Gumena kokoš Camilla mjerila Sunčevu radijaciju POGLEDAJTE VIDEO: Kad si učenik s dovoljno dobrim idejama, nebo doslovno postaje jedina granica Kad su pred mjesec dana Sunčeve baklje poslale oblake radijacije prema Zemlji, par učenika srednje škole Bishop u Kaliforniji pokrenulo je svoj vlastiti sustav mjerenja u sklopu projekta Earth to Sky - poslali su gumenu kokoš Camillu u orbitu oko Zemlje kako bi izmjerili snagu Sunčeve oluje. Napunili su meteorološki balon helijem, montirali Camillu opremljenu bedževima za mjerenje radijacije kakve nose tehničari na bolničkim odjelima radiologije, a u istraživačkom modulu zakačenom ispod balona (modificiranoj kutiji za ručak :) bile su četiri kamere, termometar i dva GPS trackera. Uz to su u orbitu, na visinu od 36.5 kilometara poslali i sedam kukaca i šaku sjemenki suncokreta kako bi proučili kako žive tvari reagiraju na tako veliku količinu radijacije. Što reći nego genijalno! Evo i sjajnog videa o projektu:
