METHOD FOR SPACE BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B64G99/00 

FIELD: biology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space biology. Method includes launching into space and subsequent return to Earth of biological object, in the capacity of which fertilized daphnia eggs are used. Under ground conditions, these eggs are placed on ice with temperature of about 0 °C and water with same temperature. After that, eggs together with ice and water are transferred into a thermostat, where life-supporting gas medium with temperature of about 0 °C. Then thermostat is sent into space, and upon returning to Earth, daphnia eggs are placed in an aquarium, the water temperature in which the duration of daylight illumination is gradually increased to simulate the onset of spring.

EFFECT: studying the possibility of delivering, in particular, to Mars a reproduced biological object used as fodder for young fish and young protopters.
