The mug was not in the space station, but stuck to the surface in a vacuum. Even more remarkable: the mosquito lived. He is now in Moscow examined.
The Russian space agency Nowosti Kosmonawtiki but gives a few details: the mosquito would be 18 months long in life to have the exterior of ISS. The animal that survived temperatures of -150 degrees in the shade and plus 60 degrees to the zonkant. And of course a significant portion daily cosmic radiation.
The mug is part of the ongoing Russian experiment Biorisk that examines what the extreme conditions of space with simple life forms. Through these experiments to the Russians learn how distant missions to Mars for example, to organize.
Initially placed the Russian Space Agency only bacteria and fungi on the outside of their module. It taught them that organisms normally found on human skin as well, in the area survive. They go in cryptobiose, a kind of hibernation, but in a normal atmosphere again wake up.
But now, the Russians also have tested insects. According to a press release was a mug to the exterior of the space station was placed in the area initially move. After a year in space, the animal back to earth by an ISS crew afzwaaide. Once in a laboratory in Moscow is again brought to life.
