Science Report 1
Judah Epstein Reporting
The purpose of this project is to explore the effectiveness of a slow sand sedimentary water filtration system in a planetary environment. To simulate a planetary environment the experiment is conducted at the Mars Desert Research Station, a self-sustaining planetary research experiment and simulation expedition.
Background information regarding the project abstract, purpose, goals, and specific experiment details and information are included in the Science Report from January 6.
Data collected from Jan 9 and prior is available in this spreadsheet.
Updates on results:
Filter 1 (Martian Simulant) and Filter 2 (Commercial Sand) are not achieving optimal results as the filter seems clogged with extremely low hydraulic conductivity.
