NASA began to launch the most important experiment for space travel

Astronautics are in need of groundbreaking experiments, to ensure the safety of astronauts.

The journey of humanity is gradually turning to a new history. Now, getting people out into space is no longer strange, and we are heading for longer, more distant journeys. In particular, the nearest target at the present time is the journey to conquer Mars.

But when people are too long in the universe, some difficult-to-control effects can occur. So recently, NASA decided to launch one of the most important experiments in space travel , in order to verify what the impact of bacteria on the outer space people has changed.

Specifically, NASA launched a sample into space from, via EcAMSat automatic satellite. They believe that in micro-gravity environments, bacteria's resistance to bacteria will be stronger, and that is dangerous for humans.

"If resistance is stronger in the micro-gravity environment, then science will change that, because we know what is responsible for this is the genetic gene, and we can reprogram the gene. as appropriate " - quoted AC Matin, an expert from Stanford University (USA).

"If it is really serious, we need to know the impact of the micro-gravity environment on systems inside the human body."

It is known that the experimental strain of E. coli can cause - one of the visible risks to astronauts. According to Matin, the bacteria outside the universe will suffer great pressure. This pressure will inadvertently activate the bacteria's defenses, making it difficult for antibiotics to work.

At Earth, bacteria also form antibodies based on the natural selection process when exposed to antibiotics, only at a slower rate. So if we know the resistance of E. coli in the universe, we will better understand their congruence on the Earth, and then come up with more effective treatments.

To perform the experiment, experts using the EcAMSat satellite - an automatic satellite, can perform the experiment without human intervention. EcAMSat will be put into orbit from ISS.

"In order to understand the effects on human health due to micro gravity and radiation from the Sun, there will need to be more extensive knowledge" - quoted Stevan Spremo, project manager from NASA.

"This experimental knowledge will be an important milestone, helping answer many questions necessary for the future."

"Sensors and technologies in EcAMSat help NASA develop more methods of determining life in further locations, like or".
