Our recent work on #fungi #biosignatures for astrobiological purpose as life detection on Mars has just been published as part of the Special Issue "Space Life Sciences" and is available at https://t.co/WHOyMMOVw1! 🍄👣🪐

[Space Mycology LAB-Unitus @SpaceMycoLab]

FINALLY out our work about stability of fungal biomarkers after 1.5 years outside the #InternationalSpaceStation 🚀

#Biomolecules could be used as suitable biomarkers in support for the ongoing explorative missions on #Mars.

We regret to hear of @AstroMCollins' passing away and offer our condolences to the family.

Col. Collins was best known as the astronaut who flew the Apollo 11 spacecraft Columbia in orbit around the Moon in 1969 while his crewmates made the first crewed landing on the surface 🌖

Today the #NASA's Mars Helicopter #Ingenuity succeeded in its first flight on the Martian surface! 🚁

Here is a video captured by @NASAPersevere, with further images and details on the amazing event! ⬇️ https://t.co/dmxy1XtBOc

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

I’m safe on Mars. Perseverance will get you anywhere.

#CountdownToMars

[Space Mycology LAB-Unitus @SpaceMycoLab]

Let's take a closer look to the first image just taken from #NASAPerseverance on the Martian surface!

Well, isn't it amazing? 🤩

#Mars2020 #PerseveranceTouchdown

[Space Mycology LAB-Unitus @SpaceMycoLab]

We are on Mars... again! 🚀🎉

The @NASA's #PerseveranceRover has officially landed at Jezero Crater on Mars.

Good luck to all the scientists who have worked and will work on this mission... but especially good luck to Perseverance!

#Mars2020 #PerseveranceTouchdown

[Space Mycology LAB-Unitus @SpaceMycoLab]

#CountdownToMars is nearly over! Only a week left before the NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover reaches the Martian surface.

To follow the landing, tune in to the @NASA live broadcast next 18th February! 🪐

A special collection on the #biology of #spaceflight was published by @CellPressNews. The work uncovers the impact of hazards in space exploration, and discusses standards for multi-omics from space and preparations needed for Mars and other missions.

@SpaceMycoLab research focuses on:
> studying of eukaryotic extremophile organisms and their survival under real space and simulated Martian conditions 🍄
> searching for #biosignatures of extanct or recently extinct life in support of future space exploration missions 🧬
