... over its evolutionary cycle allowing it to become extremely efficient at destroying biological signatures akin to those that contaminate long-duration human occupied spacecraft - such as the ISS containing many complex biofilms, some of which have...
... while transiting to altitudes as high as 20,000-36,000 km. These transfer orbits create another interesting, potentially cross-contaminating hazard that is now being studied very carefully. References 1 Kessler, D. “Collision Frequency of Artificial...
...environments are very different from Earth’s atmosphere, especially regarding partial pressure of carbon dioxide, airborne trace contaminants, radiation and microgravity, as well as total pressure. Studies have even proven that dormant algae are able...
... related to damage to fishery activities and vessels. The issue is also becoming a concern for human health due to contamination of seafood with plastic particles and associated pollutants, some of which are known to be harmful to humans. According...
... surface, distance measurement and error, planned wheel speed for rovers, flyby path for hoppers, and contamination prevention protocols. So, how did it work out? As it turned out, only two of the GLXP teams reached the...
... Earth observation satellites could also help to mitigate our environmental impact on the planet, monitoring soil contamination, air quality and water pollution. At a time of increasing resource scarcity, Earth observation satellites could be the...
