      Abstract:PAIX, the first Antarctica robotic Multi- Color photometric program, has been successfully launched during the polar night 2007. PAIX program gives a new insight to cope with unresolved stellar enigmas and stellar oscillation challenges with a great opportunity to benefit from an access to the best astronomical site on Earth, Dome C. PAIX achieves astrophysical measurement time-series of stellar fields, challenging photometry from Space. A continuous and an uninterrupted series of multi-color photometric observations has been collected each polar night –150 days– without regular interruption, Earth's rotation effect. PAIX shows the first light curve from Antarctica and first steep for the Astronomy in Antarctica giving new insides in remote polar observing runs and robotic instruments towards a new technology. PAIX offers new insides to cope with unresolved stellar pulsation enigmas and evolutionary properties challenges towards an understanding of the origin of our Universe.
