EXPOSE facilities were ESA multiuser facilities mounted outside the International Space Station for astrobiology experiments. Between 2008 and 2016, three series of experiments were conducted involving chemical and biological samples to test their resistance and evolution in the space environment in low Earth orbit. In this special collection, results from two experiments of the EXPOSE-R2 campaign (2014-2016) are presented: Biofilm Organisms Surfing Space (BOSS) relating to biology and Photochemistry on the Space Station (PSS) dealing with astrochemistry.
EXPOSE 设施是安装在国际空间站外部的 ESA 多用户设施,用于进行天体生物学实验。在 2008 年至 2016 年间,进行了三系列实验,涉及化学和生物样本,以测试它们在低地球轨道空间环境中的抗性和演化。在这个特刊中,呈现了 EXPOSE-R2 计划(2014-2016 年)的两个实验的结果:与生物学有关的生物膜生物冲浪太空(BOSS)和与天体化学有关的空间站光化学(PSS)。
