Leiden Measurement Technology is proud to announce that it has been chosen to be part of the NASA SPINDLE project led by Stone Aerospace. SPINDLE will develop a new class of exploratory technology suitable for penetrating the icy crusts of Europa and Enceladus and exploring the oceans beneath. For the first phase of SPINDLE, LMT has been chosen to help define the means of finding potential habitats and detecting life in extraterrestrial settings all while preventing forward contamination of pristine environments. This will include addressing the fundamental science of what defines life, how to find exotic life, and what instruments should be used to do so. |
