Sample-Return Biocontainment Barrier Simulator (2D)

Interactive 2D cross-section of a sample-return biocontainment canister: add or remove independent barrier layers, set each layer's individual failure probability, and watch the live-computed overall breach probability (the real product of every layer's failure probability) get empirically confirmed by a Monte Carlo run of thousands of simulated missions.

This is the 2D cross-section counterpart to the 3D duct version: the same nested-barrier containment canister, drawn from directly above as concentric rings around a "contaminated core." Each ring is an independent barrier layer with its own user-set failure (leak-through) probability, and the panel on the left lets you add or remove layers freely. The overall breach probability is always the live-recomputed product of every layer's individual probability — the real series-reliability model used to certify planetary-protection hardware — and a dedicated Monte Carlo panel runs thousands of simulated missions instantly to empirically confirm that the observed breach frequency converges on that theoretical product.

⚙ Under the hood

Tune airlock purge cycles, HEPA filter stages, UV-C sterilization dose and a chemical VHP toggle in a 3D sample-curation duct, and watch simulated microbial particles get eliminated barrier by barrier while live readouts track the multiplicative log-reduction value and predicted escape probability.
