| NASA is planning to analyse the microbes that people have brought with them - and left behind - on the International Space Station to better understand how to control the microbial environment in future human exploration spacecraft.
More than 200 people have crossed the airlock threshold to the International Space Station (ISS) to conduct research that benefits people on Earth and the US space agency's Journey to Mars.
The microbes they brought with them - and left behind - are the focus of a new collaborative research opportunity from NASA and the non-profit Alfred P Sloan Foundation.
Humans bring microbes everywhere they go - some of which reside inside the body, such as the intestinal tract. Others are outside the body on skin and clothes, for example.
When these collective microbial communities enter a human-made environment like the ISS they create their own microbial ecosystem known as the Microbiome of Built Environments (MoBE).
