SEVO (Space Environment Viability of Organics) is one of two science experiments onboard NASA's O/OREOS (Organism/Organics Exposure to Orbital Stresses) cubesat, launched in November 2010. The experiment exposes four astrobiologically relevant molecules to solar radiation in low-earth orbit. Each type of molecule was deposited as a thin film and contained in four separate micro-environments representative of either a Mars (CO_2) atmosphere, H_2O atmosphere, interstellar space, or the lunar (mineral) surface. The degradation and/or alteration of each sample on the satellite is monitored in situ, with UV/Vis spectroscopy. To complement flight data, laboratory controls have been designed for exposure to a solar simulator at regular intervals to match the exposure experienced onboard the satellite. We will present details of the control experiment design, as well as some reports on the status of data download.
