Message: [QUOTE="mussels, post: 4378861, member: 5722"] [LIST=1] [*][HEADING=2][B]BioSentinel[/B][/HEADING] "Then, there's BioSentinel, developed by NASA's Ames Research Center. This CubeSat is out to study how living organisms are affected by deep-space radiation. This 18-month mission, which utilizes yeast to assess the effects of deep-space radiation, marks the first time in over 40 years that living organisms have been sent to deep space. The findings of this experiment will ultimately serve to protect humans on future exploration missions."
