Biotechnological research on ISS Russian Segment
Experiment Bioekologia
Objective:
Investigation into the economically important microbiological objects exposed to space flight factors, including radioactive radiation and charged particles fluxes; production of highly efficient strains-producers of plant protection means, exopolysaccharides, means for biodegradation of the products containing xenobiotics (oil, oil products and organophosphoric substances) polluting environment.
Task:
Investigation into effect of space flight factors on physiological and biochemical properties of the microorganism cultures while the Bioekologia stowages are exposed to space flight factors within 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
Science Hardware Used :
- Bioecologia stowage;
- Independent temperature recorder.
Experiment Results:
- The downlinked temperature data (by telemetry generated by nominal temperature sensors located within the equipment accommodation area or by storage unit of independent temperature recorder).
- Recoverable stowage and independent temperature recorder indicating temperature values within a given time interval.
