On the surface of the ISS life is found
Unique opening is created on the International space station (ISS). Samples on the surface of the complex showed the life of the space station. When this was brought to the ISS it was external factors.
The head of the flight of the Russian segment of the ISS Vladimir Solovyov stated that the experiment "Test" sampling with portholes and the outer surface of the ISS gave unique results. Scientists noticed traces of marine plankton, which, as it turns out, it's all right there in the open space. Version Soloviev, 2013 summarized the results of several scientific experiments, which were conducted for a long time. It was stated that some organisms can live for years on the outer surface of the ISS with the space flight factors - vacuum, temperature, strong cosmic radiation. Some studies confirmed that these organisms may even develop. Using high-precision equipment in real time became possible to assess the presence of microorganisms on the surfaces of the station.
"Experimental results "Test" is absolutely unique. On the plane of the window we found the prints of marine plankton, micro-particles. This is subject to further investigation", - quotes the words Solovyov ITAR-TASS.
While scientists are not entirely clear, as these microparticles could get to the surface of the space station. Similar phases were detected on the surface of the ocean. They are not typical of Baikonur. It turns out that there are ascending air flow, which is deposited on the surface of the station," said the managing Director of flight Russian segment of the ISS.
Answering the question of how dirty at the moment the surface MKS, Solovyov said that in consequence of the work of engines of spacecraft, discharge atmosphere at the time of the outputs of the crew in open space and other reasons, the surface of the station is very dirty. "We are currently conducting specialized work in order to grind and bring order to the portholes. This is especially important during long space missions", said Soloviev.
