AstroBio Cubesat (ABCS) is an Italian 3U CubeSat to be launched with the Vega C maiden flight in summer 2020 at an altitude close to the maximum of the internal Van Allen belt.

Abstract
AstroBio Cubesat (ABCS) is an Italian 3U CubeSat to be launched with the Vega C maiden flight in summer 2020 at an altitude close to the maximum of the internal Van Allen belt. ABCS host a micro laboratory based on lab-on-chip (LoC) technology able to provide a platform for the automatic execution of bioanalytical experiments. The experiment uses lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) coupled with hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) photosensors for the detection of the reactions between reagents and target biomolecules immobilized on the strips. The aim is to test the overall system, characterize the LoC device and evaluate the stability of chemicals and biomolecules. The approach, if confirmed by the results, should be the first step to implement a mature technology able to support the search for signs of life in exploration missions, space biolabs without human support and health monitoring in manned missions.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
