Experts will monitor yeast vital signs to see how they behave when exposed to cosmic radiation.

BioSentinel, a shoebox-sized CubeSat launched from the Orion spacecraft as part of the Artemis I mission, will conduct biological experiments in deep space for the first time. This was reported by NASA.

Inside the satellite will be yeast, where scientists can see how they behave when exposed to radiation in the lunar region. After all, yeast cells have biological mechanisms similar to humans.

Specifically, BioSentinel will study yeast cell growth and metabolic activity after exposure to a highly radiative environment outside of low Earth orbit. This is a very important experiment because its results will allow scientists to evaluate the achievement of the goal of protecting the health and performance of astronauts in future Artemis missions.

Earlier it was reported that engineers are testing a system designed to destroy the Space Launch System lunar rocket in case of problems with the upcoming launch.
