Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Space Biology
  • Astrobiology

Background:

  • Fungal cells are exposed to unique spaceflight factors.
  • Understanding cellular responses to space is crucial for astrobiology and future missions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess fungal cell survival after space exposure.
  • To identify qualitative changes in fungal cells beyond survival.
  • To understand the impact of space environmental factors on living cells.

Main Methods:

  • Postflight analysis of fungal samples.
  • Monitoring initial changes in fungal cells during spaceflight.
  • Examination of fungal species upon return to Earth.

Main Results:
