  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. Tardigrade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade

    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 ...

  4. Environmental tolerance in tardigrades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_tolerance_in...

    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.

  5. Dsup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dsup

    Dsup (contraction of damage suppressor) is a DNA-associating protein, unique to the tardigrade, [1] that suppresses the occurrence of DNA breaks by radiation. [2] [3] When human HEK293 cells were engineered with Dsup proteins, they showed approximately 40% more tolerance against X-ray radiation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_flight...

    Space flight occurs beyond the Earth's atmosphere, and space flight simulators feature the ability to roll, pitch, and yaw. Space flight simulators use flight dynamics in a free environment; this free environment lets the spacecraft move within the three-dimensional coordinate system or the x, y, and z (applicate) axis.

  8. 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.

    Complicating matters further, the type locality from which Rahm collected his specimen may have been destroyed by an earthquake and subsequent searches for additional specimens matching the original description have been unsuccessful.
