AstroMold-1 is my first official project (wrote the proposal, and got accepted :D), and it is all about knowing if mold can resist to cosmic radiation!
We will test spores from different molds (Aspergillus and Penicillium sp.) under high amounts of cosmic radiation (He- and Fe-ions) and check if and how they survive! For that we will go to HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator) in Chiba, Japan.
