27c3: Part-Time Scientists (en)

Speakers: Karsten Becker, Robert Boehme

One year of Rocket Science!

The Part-Time Scientists is an international team of Scientists and Engineers participating in the first private race to the moon, the Google Lunar X-Prize. Our approach to win this competition is quite unique as everyone involved really is a part-time scientist.

In our presentation we will present our latest lunar rover, lander, electronic and communications developments.

The presentation will feature: * our self developed embedded systems, * how we designed radiation hardened and fault tolerant systems, * the production of our second rover generation and their first tests, * our prototype real world testings, * what we've done in 2010, * what we've planning for 2011,

and a lot more interesting topics!

Our presentation will be focused on actual hardware with a rather short introduction to the topic in general.

Awesome stuff. Though the video seems to be having some encoding artifacts during some parts.
