USED SCIENCE HARDWARE:
Pouch Rastenia includes:
- AKVARIUM Bags with resting forms of animal
organisms.
- Ziplock Bag.

|
PURPOSE:
- Space research to solve problems of fundamental
biology and develop the advanced biological life
support systems for space crews.
- Acquisition of data on the capability of long-term
storage of resting forms of animal organisms
(eggs of lowest Crustacea) and determination
of their ability to reactivation upon exposure
in space flight conditions.
OBJECTIVES:
- Study of the capability of long-term storage
of resting forms of animal organisms, possible
microecological system components in space flight
conditions.
- Determination of the percentage of reactivated
specimens.
- Trade off analysis of reactivated specimens
of flight and reference experiments.
- Study of genome areas (DNA) responsible for
diapause formation and depth.
- Investigation of the nucleotide sequence and
synthesis in the corresponding genome areas of
proteins-adaptagens and signal proteins involved
in the stress response and morphogenesis.
EXPERIMENT RESULTS:
AKVARIUM Bags with resting forms of animal organisms
returned to the Earth.
