Cataloguing New Species

Permanent Mission Profile

Preparation:

  • Equipment: Ensure the Binsha is equipped with advanced scientific instruments such as high-resolution cameras, genetic sequencing tools, environmental sensors, and specimen storage facilities.
  • Training: Omar can lead training sessions on the use of the scientific equipment, while Tanuc handles the logistics of cataloging and data management.
  • Contracts and Grants: Tanuc can leverage her contacts in the Orion Trade Consortium to secure contracts or grants from universities, research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies interested in new biological data.

Exploration:

  • Selection of Planets: Identify underexplored or uncharted planets with potential for unique ecosystems. Use existing star charts and data to prioritize targets.
  • On-site Surveying: Upon arrival, the team conducts thorough surveys, documenting flora and fauna. This includes taking photographs, collecting samples, and recording environmental conditions.
  • Data Collection: Use drones and automated sensors to cover larger areas and gather comprehensive data without putting the team at risk.

Data Handling:

  • Cataloging: Organize the collected data into detailed reports, including descriptions, images, genetic data, and ecological information.
  • Storage: Securely store physical samples in cryogenic chambers to preserve them for transport and further study.

Monetization:

  • Report Submission: Submit detailed reports and data to contracted research institutions and universities.
  • Publications: Publish findings in scientific journals, which can also enhance the team's reputation and attract further funding.
  • Specimen Sales: Negotiate the sale of physical samples to biotech firms and pharmaceutical companies for further research and potential drug development.
