  Guide a user through a protocol for taking a single leaf image; acquire a picture of a leaf through a smartphone camera; use the colors in the photo to calculate the area of the leaf and determine the fraction of the leaf that has been injured by ozone. Visit Project
- Trela
  Project Members from this location
  A website / app aiming to centralize alerts and prevision about sky event to resolve the Alert-Alert challenge. Events will be a mix of prediction (satellites pass, comets, auroras ...) and user generated content for unprevisible events. Data will be correlated with weather predictions to pro... Visit Project

- BioMU - Bio Monitoring Undergarment
  Project Members from this location
  Using Arduino microcontrollers linked to various sensors, develop a monitoring system with caution and warning capability for astronauts working in shirt-sleeve environment or as a basic layer under their space suit.
  
  Sensors used:
  - Pulse
  - Oxygen in blood
  - Bod... Visit Project
- Iphone Refracting Telescope
  Project Members from this location
  The telescope model assembly is 3D printed in PLA. The design is calculated for the available lens that we got at an optometrist shop nearby. The spectacle is a 70mm diameter single vision F=3 CR39 with AR coating. Also, we supposed that the minimum focal point of the iPhone is 4cm in front of... Visit Project
- DSN Now a remake
  Project Members from this location
  We use the date, longitude, latitude of DSN antennae combine to the antennae signal delay, elevation and azimuth. This gives us a set of vectors that we can use to position the mission communicating with the antennae.
  
  Our approach takes the vector from Sun to Earth at the specific date,... Visit Project
