BioSentinel: Long-Term Saccharomyces cerevisiae Preservation for a Deep Space Biosensor Mission

Abstract excerpt

The biological risks of the deep space environment must be elucidated to enable a new era of human exploration and scientific discovery beyond low earth orbit (LEO). There is a paucity of deep space biological missions that will inform us of the deleterious biological effects of prolonged exposure to the deep space environment. To safely undertake long-term missions to Mars and space habitation beyond LEO, we...
