The unit spent in orbit experiments with geckos and flies, fruit flies and other small animals
Today, in the Orenburg region to be held landing Russian research satellite “Foton-M . ” As reported by the Federal Space Agency on August 27, the program of scientific experiments, the spacecraft came to an end.
The results of the scientific experiments on board the “Foton-M” examined the state commission. “State Commission decided lander landing” Foton-M “September 1, 2014 in the Orenburg region”, – the report says the Russian Space Agency.

The device is designed for microgravity experiments, providing reception of new knowledge on the physics of weightlessness. In addition, they are designed to ensure development of work processes of production of semiconductor materials, biomedical products with improved performance and conduct biological and biotechnological research.
