NASA’s BioSentinel probe, a small satellite carrying living yeast cells, flew past the Moon to study the effects of deep-space radiation on living organisms. The yeast cells failed to grow, likely dying before launch. The experiment aimed to understand radiation damage beyond Earth's magnetic protection, helping prepare for future deep-space missions where astronauts face higher radiation risks.
