OWLS: NASA JPL's Autonomous Eight-Instrument Platform for Onboard Life-Detection in Watery-World Samples
To the point
Led by Peter Willis and Chris Lindensmith, NASA's JPL built OWLS, an autonomous eight‑instrument life‑detection system that analyzes liquid samples with a no‑moving‑parts microscope and chemical analyzers, processes data onboard, and can be tailored for future missions.
