Experiments, performed according to the NASA-Roscosmos protokol dated July 18, 2013
Experiment Microbiological monitoring
Purposes:
Obtaining new data on microorganisms' coenosis formation in the air environment and on the interior and equipment surfaces of the International Space Station.
Tasks:
To study with the help of the American means and methods of the ISS life environment microbiological condition control:
- quantitative level of bacteria in the air environment and on the AS ISS internal surfaces;
- quantitative level of fungi in the air environment and on the AS ISS internal surfaces;
- bacteria species composition in the air environment and on the AS ISS internal surfaces;
- fungus species composition in the air environment and on the AS ISS internal surfaces.
Used scientific hardware:
There is used NASA equipment - MAS air sample collector and kits for sampling from the surfaces.
Experiment results:
NASA equipment kits returning to the Earth with air and ISS surfaces microbiological samples and photo materials.
