Small-scale Mars and Moon
In the EXPOSE-R2 facility, organisms can be installed on the outside of the ISS in conditions similar to those on Mars or the Moon. To do so, the samples are placed on simulated Mars or Moon soils; corresponding atmospheres fill the interior, and filters adapt the strength and wavelength range of the radiation. DLR has contributed to the BIOMEX and BOSS experiments.
