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 back on Earth. In 2011, tardigrades were on board the International Space Station on STS-134.
The tested tardigrades were able to survive impacts of up to 3,000 km/h and momentary shock pressures of up to 1.14 GPa. The results suggest the tardigrades were unlikely to survive the crash because the shock pressure of the lander's metal frame hitting the surface would have been well above 1.14 GPa. [16] [14]
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. [21] In 2011, tardigrades went on the International Space Station STS-134, [22] showing that they could survive microgravity and cosmic radiation, [23] [24] and should be suitable model organisms ...
SpaceX's latest resupply mission to the International Space Station launched on Thursday. Tardigrades are onboard for a stint in orbit. SpaceX just launched 5,000 tardigrades into space so ...
Tardigrades are one such creature, as you discover in the above video. They can endure boiling water, freezing cold, and even the vacuum of space by employing some very special survival strategies.
An Israeli spacecraft carrying tardigrades crashed into the moon. Whether they will survive is irrelevant. Tardigrades: we're now polluting the moon with near indestructible little creatures
