Depending on our strategy for launching to space, communication from our device to some sort of receiver we can listen to involves a number of interesting questions. How do we return the message that synthesis has been carried out successfully? Will the message describe the sequence of the product created, or a simple boolean yes or no?

==History of DNA synthesizer idea in SSI==
==Sources of Inspiration and Research==
[http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/bitstream/handle/10635/20904/WangC.pdf?sequence=1 This paper describes a compact microfluidic DNA synthesizer, as well as an integrated "verifier" device to ensure that the correct sequence was synthesized.]
[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2735642/pdf/11693_2009_Article_9023.pdf This paper describes a theoretical strategy for using TdT to perform enzymatic DNA synthesis.]
[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2846215/ This paper gets deeper into TdT and how it functions in a more natural context.]
===History of DNA synthesizer idea in SSI===
The idea of a DNA synthesizer for space has been floating around SSI for some time. [[John Cumbers - Synthetic Biology | One of the earliest recordings stretches back to 2013, in a talk given John Cumbers.]] John Cumbers was also consulted during the initial conception and planning of the project in the summer of 2015.
