  2. Tardigrades in space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrades_in_space

    The use of tardigrades in space, first proposed in 1964 because of their extreme tolerance to radiation, began in 2007 with the FOTON-M3 mission in low Earth orbit, where they were exposed to space's vacuum for 10 days, and reanimated, just by rehydration, back on Earth.

  3. Environmental tolerance in tardigrades - Wikipedia

    Tardigrades have survived exposure to space. In 2007, dehydrated tardigrades were taken on the FOTON-M3 mission and exposed to vacuum, or to both vacuum and solar ultraviolet, for 10 days. [20] Back on Earth, more than 68% of the subjects protected from ultraviolet were reanimated by rehydration, and many produced viable embryos. [20]

    The space vacuum did not much affect egg-laying in either R. coronifer or M. tardigradum, whereas UV radiation reduced egg-laying in M. tardigradum. [18] In 2011, tardigrades went on the International Space Station STS-134, [19] showing that they could survive microgravity and cosmic radiation, [20] [21] and should be suitable model organisms ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_microorganisms...

    The survival of some microorganisms exposed to outer space has been studied using both simulated facilities and low Earth orbit exposures. Bacteria were some of the first organisms investigated, when in 1960 a Russian satellite carried Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Enterobacter aerogenes into orbit. [1]

  9. Milnesium tardigradum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milnesium_tardigradum

    Tardigrades have been shown to respond to different temperature changes at different developmental stages. Specifically, the younger the egg, the less likely it is to survive extreme environments. However, not too long after development, tardigrades demonstrate a remarkable ability to withstand these conditions.
