A NASA spacecraft will go beyond the Moon to help protect astronauts from space radiation

2
00:00:07,273 --> 00:00:10,176
Meet BioSentinel

3
00:00:13,818 --> 00:00:18,856
The harsh radiation environment of space poses health hazards to astronauts

4
00:00:19,753 --> 00:00:25,247
Exposure to high-energy particles can damage DNA and cells in the body

5
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:28,661
BioSentinel has an onboard laboratory

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,650
to conduct the first long-duration biology experiment in deep space

7
00:00:35,268 --> 00:00:38,238
It will study the effects of radiation on yeast

8
00:00:39,472 --> 00:00:44,444
The microorganism shares many similarities with human cells

9
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:48,980
including the process for DNA damage and repair
