Satellite
After a few days the plan should start mission "Artemida-1", in which a journey through the Solar system will send several hundred colonies earth yeast. At the time of launch they will be live and active state, and the purpose of the experiment will be to test how long they can live. The project "BioSentinel" has a horizon of 18 months but can be extended if necessary.
Scientists from NASA say that this will be the first time when life on earth will be so far away from his native Land. The idea is to launch a satellite CubeSat with yeast inside to fly around the Sun similar to the Earth's orbit. They will get about the same amount of heat and of radiation, and terrestrial organisms, however, they will not have protection in the form of a magnetic field and atmosphere of our planet. Most scientists are interested in what happens with the DNA of the yeast, you will stand its mechanism of self-reproduction test the open space. It is possible that the results will be unpleasant discovery that will put an end to manned missions to other planets due to excessive danger for people. But in this case, NASA has already insure on Board the ship will be the voice assistant Amazon Alexa and toy-dog Snoopy.
