Summary: I am looking to compile a list of experiments that would be conducted on a new planet to learn about it.
Hi, I am trying to compile a list of experiments that would be conducted on a new planet. I'd like to categorize them as such:
Simple field experiments that could be done with basic supplies in the wilderness without specialized equipment.
Makeshift field lab experiments that could be put together with some basic resources like simple metals and glass
Basic lab experiments that could be conducted once you start being able to make some simple specialized equipment, like chemistry/titration equipment and simple centrifuge etc.
Advanced lab experiments that would need precision manufactured equipment, and/or a sterile environment.
Maybe also list what type of general scientific field it falls under. (physics, biology, geology, astronomy, etc.)
Here is my list so far(I will update as it goes):
Atmospheric composition (basic or advanced lab?)
Barometric pressure(physics)
Gravitational acceleration(physics): simple field experiment (pendulum experiment)
Soil composition(geology)
Astrogational info(astronomy):(planetary rotational period, orbital radius, orbital period, astronomical relation to earth)
Ecological/biological info on local plant/animal life. (biology)
Solar spectral analysis
UV light intensity
