It will be the longest biological experiment in space, taking six to nine months to complete.
NASA’s Artemis 1 lunar mission, which will launch later this month, will contain living specimens that will help scientists learn about the effects of deep space on the human body. Reports on futurism.
In particular, with the help of the Space Launch System (SLS) launch vehicle, the Orion spacecraft will be sent, with mannequins, children’s toys and many other things. The rocket will also launch several research satellites into space. Among them is the BioSentinel satellite, which will carry yeast.
It is noted that BioSentinel has been orbiting the Sun thus far, where no other spacecraft has ever been.
The fact that yeast will go on the longest known space journey could be of great importance in understanding how deep space affects living organisms before humanity itself begins to make longer journeys to the stars.
It was previously reported that laboratory scientists on Martian soil have grown turnips, radishes and lettuce.
