Frostliebende Algen aus Deutschland starten ins Weltall zur ISS

Dr. Thomas Leya vom Fraunhofer IZI ist einer von mehreren nationalen und internationalen Partnern, die zusammen im BIOMEX-Projekt (Biology and Mars-Experiment) und in enger Kooperation mit seinem Kollegen Dr. Jean-Pierre de Vera vom Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrtzentrum DLR, untersuchen, ob und welche Organismen extreme Weltraumbedingungen überleben. Leya leitet die Arbeitsgruppe Extremophilenforschung & Biobank sowie die Stammsammlung frostliebender Algen, Culture Collection of Cryophilic Algae, kurz CCCryo. Beim geplanten Weltraumausstieg am 18. August werden die Proben an der Außenseite der ISS in die Anlage EXPOSE-R2 positioniert und der dort herrschenden, ultravioletten und kosmischen Strahlung sowie starken Temperaturschwankungen ausgesetzt.

Gave my rusty Deutsch a workout in reading that.

Then saw you posted the English translation.

Didn’t so so bad though.

They certainly do like to make new words by jamming several existing ones together!
