Russia put geckos on the universe
Geckos, tree seeds and some samples of materials are brought to space in a Russian biological and biological research project.
The Soyuz 2-1a rocket launches the Foton M4 spacecraft launched from Baikonur space airport in Kazakhstan at 20:50 (GMT) on July 18. In this research journey, Foton M4 carries Russian research satellites, geckos, plant varieties and a number of material samples.

The Foton M4 spacecraft will stay in orbit for 60 days, conducting 22 experiments to study the effects of harsh environments in space on organisms and production materials .
Experts will observe the effect of a zero gravity environment on adult geckos, including mating behavior and embryonic development. According to Space, dried seeds and silkworm eggs will be studied to determine their reaction to cosmic radiation.

Collaborative experiments between Russia and Germany will focus on semiconductor crystal research in a zero gravity environment. Experts hope that research results will pave the way for solar cell technology, light-emitting diodes, transistors and other applications in the electrical industry.
Foton M4's mission with many improvements and upgrades in solar panels and push modules, helps extend flight time and height adjustment.
